• Q: How to Properly Install a Crankshaft Seal to Prevent Oil Leaks on 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Sand the crankshaft edge with 400 grit sandpaper to get rid of any burrs or scratches, so you don't damage the new seal during installation. A seal does not need any grease when being installed. Put Rear Crankshaft Seal Guide 6926-1 where it belongs on the crankshaft and rest the seal on the guide tool so the seal's lip is toward the crankcase. Keep from driving the seal into the block below flush, as it might lead to oil leaking. Apply Rear Crankshaft Seal Installer 6926-2 and Driver Handle C-4171 until the front of these tools is against the block. As soon as you have the seal in place, fit the flex plate on, apply Mopar(R) Lock & Seal Adhesive to the axle bolt threads, tighten them up to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.) and then fit the transaxle.
