Remove the engine/transaxle assembly, then separate the transaxle from the engine. Remove the
Flywheel/driveplate. Use a screwdriver wrapped with tape to pry the Crankshaft Seal out, being careful not to gouge or nick the housing. Lubricate the crankshaft seal journal and the lip of the new seal with multi-purpose grease. Install the seal with the seal lip toward the engine and the dust seal toward the transaxle. Tap the seal into place using a seal driver to ensure it doesn't become tilted. Install the seal so that its rear edge is flush with the face of the engine block, or up to 0.020 inch recessed. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures.
