Can anyone please help me with getting instructions for replacing the Front Main Oil Seal on a 93ATX, I already checked SHOTimes and I searched the forum. I have a rough idea of how to do it, but I want to be totally sure.
Thanks :confused:

I used the Shotimes.com tutorial; it's totally correct, so trust it. Have you ever changed a seal before? The whole job is easier if you remove the left engine torque limiter and bracket off the shock tower and the two 10mm bolts on the block. It's a pita but saves busted knuckles. There's plenty of info on this site already if you'll just poke around... good luck and take your time!

Unfortunately I have done this job more than once ...in the same month! I agree with CFP: Use the SHOTimes instructions for replacing the timing belt on the 3.2L / ATX under the "Care and Feeding" section.

You don't need to pull the alternator, or to complete steps 19 through 24 unless you want to replace the CPS or waterpump while you in there. Use a sheet metal screw to get the old seal out and BE CAREFUL when you press in the new one that it goes in evenly. I pinched the outer (rubber) edge on the block putting mine in and it leaked within two days squint
