Tap in the new seal with a large socket (or piece of pipe) and plastic mallet.ġ8. Lubricate the new seal with engine oil or assembly lube to help with assembly.ġ7. Use a seal puller and pull out the old seal, wipe the inside where the seal was with a clean rag.ġ6. pull the engine up to just enough room where you can see the flex plate, mark it's location in relation to the crankshaft (for reinstall) remove it and sit it to the side.ġ5. Lift up the engine at the same time you shimy it to the passenger side of the truck, be careful what you pry on, if it doesnt come up easy then recheck all connections and make sure you got all the flex plate bolts.ġ4.
The rear should be simple, it's just in a blind spot.ġ3. if not, be prepared to remove the water pump cover. Unbolt all three engine mounts, you should be able to just remove the top bolt on the front mount and you should be able to leave the left one attached to the engine. Remove the bolts to the transmission inspection cover and then the bolts to theflex plate (flywheel) that are attached to the torque converter.ġ2. put a little tension on the lift and remove the bolts connecting the "bell housing" to the transmission.ġ1. Connect an engine lift to the top of the engine to support it.ġ0. once the harness is completely removed (the upper portion) you should have enough room to lift the engine.ĩ. The rear part of the harness will be the hardest part to get out of the way, especially towards the right rear (as you face the truck).Ĩ. You can remove the lower hose on the power steering without losing any fluid, tie it (the pump w upper hose) off out of the way, and keep the upper hose attached.ħ. Since you have to remove the power steering pump, remove the accesory belt. remove the electrical harness assembly (this will by far take the most time and will likely include removing the intake plenum and power steering pump)Ħ. remove intake vacuum hose at the rear of the intake manifold.ĥ.
remove throttle body but leave the coolant lines connected. remove the intake air filter box and hose (up to the throttle body)ģ. You may or may not also have to remove the Exhaust J-Pipe under the truck, if so you will also have to remove the cross brace on the frame.Ģ. unhook the front and rear exhaust cat converters. there are a few different orders you can do this in but some of them have to be done in certain spots.ġ. I have done this on simpler engines and I know the Ridgelines engine very well, but I have never done this to my truck or anything like it.This is not all inclusive and I'm sure others will chime in.
I apologize that I don't have it in front of me now but I will do my best to explain to you the steps that are needed. I've seen on here in the past where others have questioned on how to do this because of a leak, and I've read through the manual on how to do it.
