Replaced my seal today everything just the way you said I'm so glad I didn't wait any longer oil was messing with the Rubber products I put a new belt on too hell yeah
Forgot to put silicone on bolt and crankshaft pulley. Oil runs thru the crankshaft on this engine. When doing the rear crankshaft seal you gave to put silicone on the flywheel bolts or it will still leak oil.
Wife has the same vehicle, 2017 Equinox with the 2.4 Ecotec. I replaced the crank seal and after firing it up and idling it for 10 minutes or so had no issues. Took it for a drive and when I got back I noticed the seal started to leak again. It only leaks at an idle, when you run the rpms up the leak completely stops and then resumes when back at an idle. Any idea what could cause it to leak at an idle?
What is the torque spec for reinstalling the crankshaft center bolt? It might be 74ft-lb with an additional 75 degree turn using a new bolt. Anyone know what the part number is for the new bolt?
Does this make your vehicle shake/vibrate as if it were low on revs? I have the same leak and whenever I come to a stop, my vehicle shuts offs. Not sure if I have another issue on top of this one.
@@automotivetech-vet the check engine light came on but then turned off. Hasn’t turned back on since Saturday but I still have the leak and vehicle turns off when I come to a stop. I turn it back on with no issues. Anticipating another issue aside from the leak.. smh 🤦♂️
Bolt needs to be replaced. Gm # 11589123 Seal is gm # 12584041 Harmonic balancer # is dorman 594-309 2nd time I am going to do this job so that is why I am changing the balancer. Along with belt. Was having oil flung to my air intake box and inside wheel well.
How about a 2005 equinox, 3.4 L engine, got a video on those? If so please post! We have owned this car for 6 years now and it has been a cash cow. All new suspension, upper and lower on the front, shocks and struts on the rear. New 235 R65 17 Good Year all terains Did all the work myself, so I'm not deep in I guess, but figure what I would have paid. My point is, main seal just started leaking, plus I've been having an awful vibration problem lately. Any help will be appreciated.
