Toyota Sienna Crankshaft Seal Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How Should the Crankshaft Seal Be Properly Installed on a Toyota Sienna?
A: The crankshaft should be installed first, followed by bolting the bearing caps or cap assembly in place. Next, install the new Crankshaft Seal in the retainer and bolt the retainer to the block. Carefully inspect the seal contact surface on the crankshaft for any scratches or nicks that could damage the new seal lip and lead to oil leaks; if damaged, a new or different crankshaft is necessary. To remove the old seal from the retainer, drive it out from the back side using a hammer and punch after supporting the retainer on wood blocks. Note how far the old seal is recessed into the bore, as the new Crankshaft Seal must be recessed the same amount, taking care not to damage the bore to prevent oil leaks. Ensure the retainer is clean, then apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer edge of the new Crankshaft Seal, pressing it squarely into the bore without hammering. If a press is unavailable, use two smooth pieces of wood and a large vise to press the seal into place, ensuring even force distribution. As a last resort, the seal can be tapped into the retainer with a hammer using a block of wood to distribute the force evenly, ensuring it is driven in squarely. Before slipping the Crankshaft Seal/retainer over the crankshaft and bolting it to the block, lubricate the seal lips with clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease, applying a 3/32-inch wide bead of anaerobic sealant to the retainer-to-block surface instead of using a gasket. Finally, tighten the bolts gradually.
