How to Install a Crankshaft Seal on Chrysler 300?

Make sure the cast aluminum seal assembly and adapter cannot be used instead of the factory integrated rear seal on the crankshaft. Look carefully for any blemishes on the surface where the seal will go. Thoroughly clear the gasket surface and put some engine oil inside the seal's inner diameter so the seal curls evenly back toward the engine side of the crankshaft. Put special tool 6926 onto the crankshaft and, being careful, slide the seal onto it. As soon as the seal is in position, do up the seal retaining bolts only finger tight. One way to stop oil leaks at sealing joints is to attach the Special Tools 8225 to the pan rail using fasteners, so that the "2.7L" stamp is pointing at the cylinder block and the seal flange sits next to it. Always keep squeezing the seal assembly with Special Tool 8225, tighten the screws on the seal assembly to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) and then release the special tool. Attach the oil pan, flex plate, backing plate and bolts before you place in the transmission. Following that, fit the retaining bolts and splash shield to the lower engine compartment, lower the car, add oil, link the negative battery cable and fire up the motor to check for spills.

How to Replace a Crankshaft Seal on Chrysler Crossfire?

Replacing the rear oil seal is difficult because the factory attaches it to the end cover as one unit. Remove the flywheel and the two bolts holding the end cover to the crankshaft, then remove the end cover and cast aside both the end cover and the seal behind it. Completely clean the tops of the engine block and oil pan gasket. Partially fill a 1.5 mm to 2 mm sealing layer of Loctite 5203 on the end cover's mating surface and fit the end cover without its seal. Tighten the retaining bolts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Make certain that the cut edge of the mounting hole around the crankshaft seal is clean and free from burrs and that the oil seal's sealing part has not been crushed. Before installing, clean the circumference and lip of the rear crankshaft oil seal, clean the sealing surface and place the seal so its inner surface is perpendicular to the crankshaft shaft for best sealing. Using the special tool 9100, correctly position the rear crankshaft oil seal in the new end cover so the distance between them is roughly 1 mm (0.039 inch) around all parts of the seal. After that, uninstall the Special Tool 9100 Rear Seal Installer and replace the flywheel.

Using the special tool 9100, correctly position the rear crankshaft oil seal in the new end cover so the distance between them is roughly 1 mm (0.039 inch) around all parts of the seal. After that, uninstall the Special Tool 9100 Rear Seal Installer and replace the flywheel.
