1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the timing belt (see Checking and replacing the timing belt of the 1.6L Duratec Ti-VCT engine).
3. Remove the crankshaft timing pulley.
4. Using a screwdriver, remove the seal from the oil pump housing.
5. Lubricate the working edge of the new seal with engine oil, install the seal into the oil pump housing, orienting its working edge inside the engine, and press it in until it stops using a mandrel. You can use a suitable-sized head from a tool kit or an old seal as a mandrel.
6. Install all removed parts and assemblies of the timing mechanism in the reverse order of removal.
7. Adjust the timing belt tension (see Checking and replacing the timing belt of the 1.6L Duratec Ti-VCT engine).
Replace the 1.6L Duratec Ti-VCT engine crankshaft rear oil seal as follows.
1. Remove the gearbox (see Removing and installing the gearbox).
2. Remove the clutch (see Clutch Removal and Installation).
3. Remove the flywheel (see Removal, defect detection and installation of the flywheel).
4. Inspect the seal. If the seal is not sealed, oil will be visible at the bottom.
5. Remove the six bolts securing the oil seal holder to the cylinder block…
6….and remove the holder together with the oil seal.
NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal and retainer gasket are bonded to the retainer, so if the oil seal leaks, replace the entire assembly.
Pay attention to the markings on the seal holder. Purchase a seal assembly with the same markings.
7. Lubricate the working edge of the new oil seal with engine oil, install the oil seal holder on the cylinder block, orienting the oil seal with the working edge inside the engine, and carefully tuck the working edge onto the crankshaft journal.
8. Tighten the oil seal retainer mounting bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to the torque specified in Appendix 1.
For replacing the front crankshaft oil seal of 2.0L and 2.3L Duratec-HE engines perform the following operations.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Remove the timing cover (see Replacing the timing chain of the 2.0 and 2.3 L Duratec-HE engines).
NOTE: Shown with engine removed for clarity.
3. Using a mandrel of suitable diameter, press the old seal out of the timing cover.
4. Lubricate the working edge of the new seal with engine oil, install the seal in the cover, orienting it with the working edge inside the engine, and press it in until it stops using a mandrel. You can use a head from a tool kit of a suitable size or an old seal as a mandrel.
