Single camshaft engines
Front oil seal
Remove the camshaft sprocket. After making a hole in the seal, screw in the screw and pull out the seal.
Remove dirt from the oil seal seat with a wooden or plastic scraper. Wrap thin tape around the end of the camshaft to protect the edges of the new oil seal when installing it.
Lubricate the lips of the new seal and install it in place. Remove the protective tape from the camshaft, then install the sprocket on it.
Rear oil seal - 1.4 and 1.6 L engines
Remove the ignition distributor or coil. On 1.4L and 1.6L single-point fuel injection engines, the rear camshaft seal is an O-ring located on the rear of the distributor housing. Remove the old seal using a screwdriver, install a new one, and install the ignition distributor.
On 1.6L engines with multi-point fuel injection, a rear seal of the same shape is located behind the coil mounting plate. Unscrew the three bolts and remove the plate. Remove the old seal with a screwdriver. Install the new seal, plate and ignition coil in place.
Rear oil seal - 1.8 and 2.0L engines
Remove the ignition distributor components.
Using something to pry the seal off the camshaft housing, remove the dirt from the seal seat using a wooden or plastic scraper.
Apply clean grease to the lips of the new seal and install it flush with the camshaft housing wall using a bushing or tube. Be careful not to damage the seal edges.
Reinstall the ignition distributor components.
Twin Cam Engines
Front oil seal
Remove the camshaft sprocket.
After making a hole in the seal, screw in the screw and pull out the seal.
Remove dirt from the seal seat with a wooden or plastic scraper.
Make sure the sprocket lock pin is in the up position.
Apply clean grease to the edges of the new seal and install it. Rotate the camshaft sprocket bolt to slide the seal into place.
Rear oil seal
On twin cam engines there are no rear seals on the camshaft, although a seal is installed at the rear of the distributor housing (the ignition distributor is driven by the exhaust camshaft).
To replace the seal, you need to remove the ignition distributor, (chapter 5), and then use a screwdriver to remove the old sealing ring. Install the new seal and then the ignition distributor in place.
