2. Remove the timing belt (see Replacing the timing belt of the 2.2L duratorq-tdci engine).
3. Remove the crankshaft timing pulley.
4. Using a screwdriver, remove the seal.
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 the 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.

5. Remove the oil seal from the housing using a special crankshaft seal remover or a flat-blade screwdriver.
6. Lubricate the working lip of the new oil seal with engine oil and install it using the crankshaft rear seal installation tool (Fig. 5.53).
