CRANKSHAFT WEAR SLEEVES

AND SEALS

(1) Adapter.
(2) Crankshaft seals:
Crankshaft seals must be installed with the lip of
the seal toward the inside of the engine as
shown. Make sure the correct seal is installed
on each end of the crankshaft. For SAE
Standard Rotation engines use 1W6974 Seal
Group on the front and 1W6977 Seal Group on
the rear. For SAE Opposite Rotation engines
use 1W6977 Seal Group on the front and
1W6974 Seal Group on the rear.
(3) Put clean engine oil on the O-ring seals at
assembly.
NOTE: For complete procedure with illustrations, make
reference to Disassembly and Assembly section of this
Service Manual.
b. Install sleeve and seal assembly into
adapter (1) with correct tools.
c. Clean the outer surface of the crankshaft
and the inner surface of wear sleeve (4)
with 6V1541 Quick Cure Primer.
d. Carefully put a thin coat of 9S3265
Retaining Compound on the inner surface
of wear sleeve (4) and on crankshaft
surface.

(4) Wear sleeve. e. Install adapter (1), seal (2) and wear sleeve
(4) as a unit on the end of the crankshaft
Removal: with the correct tools.

a. Remove the seal adapters from each end of Tools Needed
