Removal
1. Place the vehicle on an inspection pit or overpass (see "Preparing a car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the flywheel (see above, "Flywheel - removal and installation").
3. With a socket or open-end wrench by 10 mm we unscrew the two nuts securing the clutch housing shield and remove the shield.
4. To replace the oil seal, it is recommended to remove its holder to avoid damaging the crankshaft flange when pressing in the oil seal.
With a socket wrench by 10 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the oil pan to the holder and the six bolts securing the holder to the cylinder block. Bolts A and B we weaken.
5. Use a slotted screwdriver to pry up the oil seal holder and remove it together with the sealing gasket.
6. Place the holder in a vice and use a punch to knock out the seal through the cutout in the holder.
Installation
1. Lubricate the working edge of the new seal with engine oil.
2. Press the seal into the holder through the mandrel (an old seal or a piece of pipe of a suitable diameter can be used as a mandrel).
3. Installation of all removed parts is performed in reverse order.
