Great video! Thank you! After watching I was able to find the oil leak on my daughter's G6 and then replace the seal in a couple hours - after my mechanic diagnosed it as an intake gasket leak, paying him $1,000 and bringing it back to him 4 times! Not having a socket that large, I used a 1.5" pvc coupling and a piece of 1.5" pvc about 18" long to drive the seal in. I also learned that the pulley bolt is a torque to yield bolt that is supposed to be replaced - about $18 at the dealer.

What about harmonic balancer washer ? I have oil leak from the front seal on my LS3 camaro. Replaced it 2 times already ( How to corrrect install this washer ?
Great video but I have a question. When pulling the pulley off by using the 3 jaw puller and the crankshaft bolt, I don’t screw the bolt into the crankshaft? Also what size buts were those? 21mm?
Hey here it is 2022 and I am replacing the seal again, plus oil pan gasket,,,,,,,,,I saw where Chevy and GM started out sourcing engine parts in 2007. Most of the heads for V6 and V8 engines were out sourced and were not cleaned up or blueprinted prior to install.
What about pulling the crank pulleys of a 3.8 with a super charger? There are two pulleys and not like that one with the wide areas to grab with the claw. Only 3 small holes.
I'm doing this on my 2008 Jeep Liberty, I had to get the bolt out and loosen it by bracing a breaker bar on the frame, my question is how do I retighten it?
Hello I have a 2010 impala I changed my oil pan gasket , valve cover gasket , oil filter gasket , and it’s still leaking I haven’t changed this gasket in this video tho will this make oil go into my exhaust causing it to smoke because smoke comes under my car
What size washer and nut did you put on the bolt im doing this to an 08 impala of mine and trying to mske sure i have everything so i can breeze through it as fast as you thanks in advanced
@@ack0011- RTV is room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber sealant (cures at room temperature) different colors for different temperatures and different materials you don't want leaking (oil, water/coolant, air)
Hey I have a question I have the same problem I put a new seal in do you have to put some kind of glue around the seal for it not to leak or do you just put the seal in the in there
At 6:49 if your balancer lands look like that there's a chance it's going to leak ; due to the seal wearing grooves into the balancer's seal contact surface . Your options are to replace the balancer ($40-$300) , weld the grooves then machine the weldment back down to size ( dont know how much that will cost since I've only done method one and three ) , or use a re-sleeve kit ($40-$50) .
Correct. Those balancers are aluminum and do get grooves. Depending on location of existing grooves, you could set the seal deeper so it rides on new metal. Doesn't the reserve kit come with its own seal sized for the larger diameter?
Love the videos. You saved me a ton of time and money. I have a quick question. When you used the crank pulley bolt as a spacer to pop off the pulley, what was the size on the nuts you used? I'd like to follow the procedure you used. Thank you.
All good untill the very end. You are never supossed to use the bolt to drive the pulley back onto the crank. Because the bolt will in the beginning only engage on a couple of threads and you can strip them right out of your crank, you really dont wanna do that. Also the bolts are often stretch bolts that are one time use only. And it is never recomended to use an impact to put them back in once again because you really dont wanna strip the threads in your crank.
@@klowny1969 sooner or later youll replace a crankshaft over that. Ive done what you did plenty of times. Ive also seen 3 cranks ruined by others. Luck of the draw. Nothing different between what me, you, or they did. Hes also correct on tty bolts

3:14 do you really need a puller? I think I've seen people do it without but there seems to be a couple strange methods that I'm not sure I would personally use. And do you really need a spacer for it? I thought it would be just fine on it's own. Thank you so much for making this video. It's the lack of details that make me nervous about a job like this but you make it look very doable. Thank you 😌
I tried wedging a piece af wood between the balancer pulley and another pulley and no luck . The balancer would just turn trying to break the balancer bolt loose . I knew what I needed was impact tools but didn't have the money for impact gear ; Nor did I want to remove the radiator. . So I disabled my fuel injection system and put my breaker bar and socket on the balancer wedging it against the car's frame . Then I turned the motor over with the starter ; broke the bolt loose the first try . When I was ready to put it all back together I tightened the pulley bolt with quick jerky movements on the breaker bar similar actions that an impact would do , which makes me wonder if that's enough torque taking in account that the bolt will self tighten anyway when the engine starts running . Another option was to turn the engine in the reverse direction then quickly tighten it in the righ direction using momentum in my favor but no luck in free spinning the motor in reverse direction ; I did not remove the spark plugs which would have relieved any compression in the cylinders maybe making it easier to free spin the motor . Any comments ?
I couldnt tell by watching and i dont think you mentioned it, but you should put sealant in the keyway of the pully before installing. Without sealing the keyway, you could have an oil leak.
Thanks for the good video. I'm getting a sitting '99 Cutlass running and I decided to replace the front seal while I'm doing other similar work. Hopefully I'll be able to find something to hammer it in, maybe I have a cup or something that's the right size.

Thanks for the video. Was helpful. BTW I found it easier to use the 46mm socket in conjunction with a small 1/2" impact rated extension to be able to hit it in the center and apply force evenly to the crank seal.
Not sure how everyone is so easily getting that seal in. Seems to be too tight-one side will go in but not the other. Tried large socket , etc. Any suggestions anyone?
You think it'll be similar to a 2010 Chevy Equinox V6 front wheel drive? because I see some fluid leakage (not as bad) but I'm thinking it's the seal you replaced in this video. Btw great video!
Great video. Does this engine (3.5 gm) have a timing chain gasket that may also be leaking? Or if its leaking from this side of the engine, it is definitely the crankshaft seal. Thank you.
Thank you for the fast reply. If it was the manifold, would it leak not running? It will leak just parked either flat or on ramps. I thought the oil level would be to low to leak from manifold while parked. I am definitely going to do the crankshaft seal tomorrow, just wanted to cover my bases and know what else to look for.
I was also wondering how difficult putting the belt back on was. Any tips? Do you need two people? I don't see how you can hold the tensioner with one hand while trying to route that belt with other(?)

For a little extra ease installing the pulley/damper, you can set an oven to about 150 degrees and stick it in there for a half hour.
At 6:49 if your balancer lands look like that there's a chance it's going to leak ; due to the seal wearing grooves into the balancer's seal contact surface .

Just love your video! Excellent, short and sweet!!! Thanks!!!
I get conflicting answers on whether or not to put sealer on the outside of the seal or install dry. I do know the inside needs oil.
I use petroleum jelly to keep it lubricated, I would not use gasket sealer. It's already a 'seal'.
