  Q: How to Replace a Camshaft Seal on Dodge Stratus?

  A:

  You must first remove the Timing Belt to service the camshaft oil seal. Hold every camshaft sprocket with Special Tool 6847, allowing you to effortlessly remove the center bolt. After that, unbolt the camshaft sprockets and lift off the rear timing belt cover. With Special Tool C-4679A, remove the camshaft seal without touching the surface or inside of the bore. The shaft seal surface should be cleaned of anything that could damage it, like varnish, dirt or nicks and should be rubbed softly with 400 grit sandpaper if it is dirty. Fit the camshaft seals into the cylinder head using Special Tool MD-998306 so the seals are level with the head. Cover and secure the rear cover, then place Special Tool 6847 through each camshaft sprocket and tighten the center bolt to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). In the end, install the timing belt and front covers.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Camshaft Seal on Dodge Stratus?

  A:

  You should remove the Timing Belt before you service and repair the camshaft oil seal. Apply Special Tool 6847 on the front of the engine so you can remove the center bolts and take out the camshaft sprockets, then the rear timing belt cover from the motor. Now, the Special Tool C-4679A should be used to remove the camshaft seal without nicking the shaft seal surface or seal bore. Before the seal can be installed, the shaft seal surface should be varnish-free, clean and without any nicks. With Special Tool MD-998306, place the camshaft seals on the cylinder head until they are even with the head. Place the timing belt rear cover and the camshaft sprockets, applying Special Tool 6847 and tightening the center bolt until it measures 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.). After that, add the timing belt and front covers.
