How to Replace the Camshaft Oil Seal on a Chevrolet Cruze?
1 Answers
The method for replacing the Camshaft oil seal on a Chevrolet Cruze is as follows: 1. First, rotate the crankshaft pulley to the position of the first cylinder. There is a small dot on the crankshaft pulley that should align with the longest protruding strip on the front oil seal housing. Maintain this position, then install the rear crankshaft oil seal. Note that there is a small dot on the rear crankshaft oil seal housing that should align with an empty point on the pulley when installing it onto the crankshaft. 2. The crankshaft seal is located inside the crankshaft pulley, and the rear crankshaft oil seal is situated at the flywheel inside the connection between the engine and the transmission. 3. After assembling the crankshaft into the cylinder block, install the main bearing cap. Before installing the rear main bearing cap, apply sealant to the rear part of the mating surface, then tighten according to the specified torque. The tightening torque for the main bearing cap bolts must be followed. 4. After assembling the crankshaft, when installing the rear crankshaft oil seal, use a specialized tool—the crankshaft thick oil seal press tool—to press the rear oil seal from the rear end of the crankshaft. 5. During the pressing process of the oil seal, ensure that the oil seal remains level at all times.
