Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

I think the only difficulty is getting your hand in there to clean the area up and that upper bolt on the oil filter mount. I have big hands but I would rank the difficulty as maybe a 2 out of 10. If you had small hands I would say it gets a 1 out of 10. I used a bottle of A and D ointment laying around from when the kids were infants to hold the seals in. Worked great, no slippage. Did the same with the engine out and I could see how well that held the seals in place. Definitely get yourself a ratcheting 10mm wrench for the nuts holding it in place.
And as far as access, I found it way more comfortable laying on my back doing this than crouched over in front of my engine when it was out, but I am getting old and less bendy. |
