  Q: How to Properly Install a Camshaft Seal on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  The shaft seal should be polished using 400 grit paper and cleaned of varnish, dirt or nicks to install the camshaft oil seal. Ease MD-998306 in between the camshaft and cylinder head and then press the seals against the head until they are flush. After that, put in the Timing Belt rear cover, then the camshaft sprocket, keeping it in place with Camshaft Sprocket Holder 6847 and tighten the center bolt to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). Set the timing belt and the front covers on the engine as the last step.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Camshaft Seal on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  Begin the service by taking out the Timing Belt. Hold each camshaft sprocket in place with Camshaft Sprocket Holder 6847 before removing the center bolt and remove all the sprockets. Then remove the rear timing belt cover and pull the camshaft seal out with Camshaft Seal Remover C-4679A, making sure not to scratch or dent either the shaft seal area or its bore. It's important to clean and smooth the shaft seal surface before installation by using 400 grit paper, if dents or varnish are present. Set up Camshaft Seal Installer MD-998306 and insert the camshaft seals into the cylinder head, so they are level with the surface. Install the rear cover of the timing belt and then fit the camshaft sprockets using Camshaft Sprocket Holder 6847 to grip each sprocket as you tighten the center bolt to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). Put the timing belt and front covers in place now.
