• Q: How to replace the Crankshaft Seal on 2005 Scion xA?

  A: The replacement process for an engine rear oil seal begins by removing manual transaxle and automatic transaxle assemblies then moving on to the removal of clutch cover assembly and clutch disc assembly for manual transaxle. Detach the drive plate and ring gear or flywheel after using Special Service Tool: 09213-58012 (91111-50845), 09330-00021 to hold the crankshaft damper. Use a knife to cut the engine rear oil seal lip before extracting it with a taped screwdriver. Make sure to inspect the crankshaft for damage before sanding any rough surfaces with 400 grit sandpaper. The new oil seal receives multipurpose grease across its lip before installation with Special Service Tool: 09223-56010 and a hammer for tapping the seal until it reaches the rear oil seal retainer edge while maintaining a straight motion to avoid angles and wiping off all 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, cleaning the bolt and bolt hole, applying adhesive (Part No. 09330-0070, Three Bond or equivalent) to the bolts, and uniformly tightening the 6 bolts for the automatic transaxle to a torque of 88 Nm (900 kgf-cm, 65 ft. lbs.) or the flywheel for the manual transaxle to a torque of 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.), ensuring not to reuse the flywheel bolts, marking them with paint, and retightening by an additional 90 degrees while checking the paint mark position. After assembling the manual transaxle with automatic transaxle and clutch disc and clutch cover you should finish by inspecting for engine oil leakage.
