Camshaft Seal — Replacement (Honda Civic 3)

1. Remove the drive belt and camshaft sprocket (see Section 7).

2. Measure the depth of the oil seal seat, then carefully remove the oil seal using a special puller or a screwdriver. Do not damage the oil seal seat and/or the surface of the shaft journal to avoid oil leaks.

3. Clean the oil seal seat and lubricate the new oil seal with engine oil.

4. Using a tool head or a pipe with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the seal diameter, carefully drive in the new seal. Try to drive the seal to the same depth as the old one.

5. Install the camshaft timing pulley and drive belt (see Section 7).

6. Start the engine and check for oil leaks at a temperature close to operating temperature.
