• Q: How to replace the Crankshaft Seal on 2004 Scion xA?

  A: The process of engine rear oil seal replacement begins with M/T transaxle manual transaxle assembly and A/T transaxle automatic transaxle assembly removal followed by clutch cover assembly and clutch disc assembly (M/T transaxle). To detach the drive plate and ring gear or flywheel begin by using Special Service Tool 09213-58012 (91111-50845), 09330-00021 to hold the crankshaft damper. Remove the engine rear oil seal by performing the following steps: cut off the oil seal lip with a blade then pry it out using a screwdriver covered in tape. Inspect the crankshaft for damage as the last step and round off rough edges with 400-grit sandpaper. The installation requires applying multipurpose grease to the new oil seal lip which must remain free of contaminants then using Special Service Tool: 09223-56010 with a hammer to tap the oil seal in position while observing a vertical alignment and wiping away any surplus grease from the crankshaft. Reinstall the drive plate and ring gear or flywheel by holding the crankshaft with Special Service Tool: 09213-58012 (91111-50845), 09330-00021, applying adhesive (Part No. 09330-00070, Three Bond or equivalent) to the bolts, and tightening them uniformly in the specified sequence, with a torque of 88 Nm (900 kgf-cm, 65 ft. lbs.) for the drive plate (A/T) and 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.) for the flywheel (M/T), ensuring not to reuse the flywheel bolts and marking them with paint before retightening by an additional 90 degrees and checking the paint mark position. The final installation steps include the clutch disc assembly for M/T transaxle along with the clutch cover assembly for M/T transaxle followed by manual transaxle assembly for M/T transaxle and automatic transaxle assembly for A/T transaxle. Complete inspection of engine oil leaks must be performed.
