2010 Chevrolet Corvette Crankshaft Seal Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the front crankshaft seal on 2010 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: A proper replacement of crankshaft front oil seal begins with crankshaft balancer removal. You should use the proper tools to remove the crankshaft oil seal from the front cover. The proper care requires avoidance of lubrication on the seal sealing surface and refusal to utilize the crankshaft oil seal a second time. Clean engine oil should be applied to both the oil seal outer edge and the front cover oil seal bore. The J 41478 guide should receive the crankshaft front oil seal before inserting the J 41478 threaded rod along with its nut, washer, guide, and oil seal into the crankshaft end. Use the J 41478 tool to position the oil seal inside the cover bore while gripping the hex with a wrench for clockwise rotation of the installer nut until the full seal penetration occurs. Check the oil seal for complete and even installation after you remove the installation tool. Finally, reinstall the crankshaft balancer.
