Question 1

How to Service and Repair a Camshaft Seal on Jeep Liberty?

Accepted Answer

Before servicing or repairing the camshaft oil seal, remove the timing belt first. Take advantage of Special Tool 6847 to keep the sprocket of each camshaft still during removal of the center bolt. Subsequently, remove the sprockets, the exhaust camshaft target ring and the exhaust camshaft sensor from the cylinder head. While inspecting the target ring and sensor for wear and cleaning the sensor face, add a new spacer pad to the sensor hood during reinstallation. Uncover the rear timing belt and use Special Tool C-4679-a to safely remove the camshaft seal without damaging either seal surface or bore. The shaft seal surface must be clean of varnish, dirt or scratches before installing and can be polished with 400 grit paper if needed. With Special Tool Md-998306, fit the camshaft seals into the cylinder head and push them until they are even with the head. Installing the timing belt rear cover requires making sure that its target ring tab provides a strong snap on the camshaft. The Front side of the exhaust camshaft target ring should face you before fitting the exhaust camshaft sensor. Install the camshaft sprockets again, using Special Tool 6847 to hold each sprocket as you tighten the central bolt to 101 Nm (75 ft. lbs.) and lastly, insert the timing belt and front covers.

Question 2

How to Ensure Proper Installation of a Camshaft Seal on a Jeep Wrangler?

Accepted Answer

For any camshaft oil seal work, you should start by taking out the timing belt. Before removing the center bolt, slip Special Tool 6847 over every camshaft sprocket. Next, unscrew the sprockets, take off the exhaust camshaft target ring and sensor next and make sure to inspect them for wear while you clean the sensor face and add a new spacer. After removing the cover of the rear timing belt, use a Special Tool C-4679-a to extract the camshaft seal, being sure not to damage either the seal or shaft where it fits. If the shaft seal surface is covered with varnish, dirt or has nicks, sand it with 400 grit paper before the installation. Put in the camshaft seals with Special Tool Md-998306 until their top surfaces are flush with the head surface. Reattach the rear cover of the timing belt, so the target ring tab snaps securely and firmly onto the camshaft. Place the exhaust camshaft target ring with the word Front facing forward and then put the exhaust camshaft sensor on. Slide the camshaft sprockets in place and use Special Tool 6847 to hold each as you turn the center bolt until you reach a torque of 101 Nm (75 ft. lbs.). Afterward, place and tighten the timing belt and both the front pump and cover.
