How To Replace Front Main Crank Seal Crankshaft Oil Seal 2008-2012 Chevy Malibu 2.4L ECOTEC 4 Cylinder DIY #workingwithwimberley episode 11
The only video out of 20 i watched that actually gave a torque spec! Thx you for doing this correctly!
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Nice video. I have a 2010 Malibu that's had a leak getting progressively worse in the same general location. I've been having to drive on it for two weeks monitoring the oil and getting the occasional smoking from oil dripping onto hot components. The only thing I can think of is a crankshaft seal so this weekend I'm going to clean it up as best I can and attempt to replace.
Ok great! You should be able to handle this job. I took me a while to find this leak. The oil was spraying everywhere off of the crankshaft so it made it tough to pinpoint the leak. But when I realized where it was coming from it was an easy fix. Thanks for watching a be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
Great job. Short and to the point. Thanks for the info.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Thanks man ... for the video ... I'm not a mechanic ... but I like learning and it helped me. very much this video ..
That’s awesome! I’m glad the video helped!
Very informative thank you. I changed the same seal on my 08 Pontiac G5 with your help, much appreciated.

Very helpful. Thanks for posting
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Awesome video bro!!💯. I’m doing this job right now. I know this video is 2 years old but I’m hoping you see this comment.
I have to quick questions.
1.) Did your new Seal come with a metal ring attached to the rubber seal? The old seal I removed from my Malibu was just a rubber seal like the one in your video.
2.) After you reinstalled the Crankshaft pulley did you have to make any adjustments with the timing marks and or adjust timing? Thanks you bro.
My new seal did not come with a metal ring. It was all plastic/rubber. And no, I made no adjustments with timing marks. I just put the pulley back on the same way it came off. It has notches in it and it wouldn’t seat until it got to the correct place. 👍🏽👌🏽
@@WorkingWithWimberley My Belt was Ate up I have Bought 3 belts . So Today I bought The Crankshaft Gasket and that ring Thing Wow Thanks For Help . Thank you Lord Amen💪🙏💯
@@ruthmichellejackson1810 You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Thanks for the helpful video. Helped me find my 2012 chevy malibu oil leak. You mentioned it's a camshaft seal.. I believe it's the crankshaft seal? Looking the camshaft seal up and it doesn't look anything like what you replaced.
You’re welcome and You are correct. It’s a crankshaft seal! I misspoke in the video!
Thanks for this! It was extremely helpful.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Good job, doing a '10 Malibu next week, but I'm also springing for a new pulley bolt for $9 at the Dealership because it's a Torque to Yield fastener.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Where you located need mines done
And also, you didnt talk me to death... Most of these mechanics must have no one to talk too, because they talk too damn much😅😅😅
That’s how I make all my videos! Short and to the point. I really don’t think that people care what I ate for breakfast when they’re looking for tutorials. 😂
Did you fix what caused the leak? The intake needs to be taken off and the 1/16th hole in the middle that gives the pcv valve its vacuum needs drilled out so the crank case can vint. Good video!
@@andyharley67 Thank you. This was a high mileage car and the seal failed. I replaced the seal and the leak stopped. I don’t think mine was a pcv issue.
Great video! The information is much appreciated.
Thank you! I’m glad the video helped!!!
Good job
Thanks!
Job well done... Only thing is that you made it look to easy😊😊😊
To be honest, I was kinda nervous about doing this job, but it wasn’t that hard.
Great video! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Great Video, Thanks Steven. I have a 2007 Malibu LS 2.2 Ecotec. Would there be a differences that you can think of for the same report on my make, model, and engine? Thank you, Steve carter. Anyone else with knowledge in this area, Please Respond. Thanks! P.S. I've heard that the seating of the new seal sometime requires and large socket and a hammer to tap in in to get it to seat completely. Your thought on this??
From the pictures I’ve looked at, the 2.2L for 2007 and 2008 look very similar. I can’t say they are exactly the same though. I’ve seen seals seated by tapping them with a large socket. If you have one the correct size, it might help, but be careful not to damage the seal. The seal I installed was plastic and it slid into position fine by just coating it in oil.
Good job fam
Thanks!
Nice video, it helped a lot.. thanks

excelente broder muchas gracias
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found the video helpful!
Or does that sound like something else.? I can see my serpentine belt kind of ripping. I believe it's because oil is getting on it and thats what's causing smoke for a few seconds. Maybe the belt is burning off little by little? Any information is great. Thanks.
My guess would be it the front main seal. I had oil in the same place before I fixed it.
Thats exactly what the issue was. Ty.!!!
I was able to catch it before the serpentine belt busted. But I got tuay replaced also cause I can see it ripping. 250$ later. New belt and seals replaced. Needed that done!
@@jesserecio4560 That’s great! 👍🏽👌🏽
Looks like the same leak in my saturn aura xr 3.6l , I was thinking it was my timing belt cover but it might be the seal after all
It’s definitely possible.
How much did you charge for the job I have the same problem and they are trying to charge me 180
This was my wife’s car so I didn’t charge anything. I don’t think $180 is that bad though.
Great Video
That was Crank shaft pulley tho, not Cam shaft
You're right. I misspoke. It's Crankshaft like I have it in the video title. Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback.
I had my front main oil seal replaced yesterday but it still leaks from behind the harmonic balancer
It shouldn’t leak after the seal has been replaced.
Excellent info. About how much would that cost
Honestly, I don’t have a clue. I never got an estimate.
Quote I got was 1.6 hours and the cost of parts - seal and bolt if you replace it - at $120/hr labour, prob no more than $220
Mine is leaking from a different location,which other pully would have oil leaking from?
I would check the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket. I don’t think it would leak from another pulley. If my memory is correct, you have the crankshaft pulley, tensioner pulley, alternator and A/C compressor. Those are the only other things driven by the belt and those shouldn’t be leaking oil.
Does it have a water pump pully 😂just wondering
When doing front cover gasket on this do you have remove chain also?
I'm pretty sure you are talking about the front timing cover gasket. If that's the case, you do not need to remove the timing chain in order to replace the cover gasket.
A shop told me needed a new front cover because that's the only way to get the seal. To change it they wanted $1200
Wow! I wonder why they said that.
I've done this job twice...oil is still leaking sees to be around the same area or close to it.. I've changed the timing cover and replaced the harmonic balancer.. could oil cooler line leak
.or oil coolant leak.. also I pulled my air filter to check it and I see an oil blow back..I'm going to check the valve cover for this
I hope you eventually found the issue.
I done this job twice too, I did the same than you . did u fixed ?
@@cervantes900ify my PCV valve ( something like that)🤦 was stopped up. Plus my valve cover gasket..that was the blow back oil...it seemed to help for the moment.. but then other things happened with this car 🤦..I think it started leaking oil in or through my engine because I never would see anything on the ground but my oil stick was low 🤷 hope this helps 👍
@@billo5065 tank you 😀😀😀
So did your car stop running due to this problem? My car stopped running and the engine would Harlem shake. I put oil in the car and it ran completely out.
It didn’t stop running. But there was a huge puddle of oil after the car sat for a while. I kept having to add oil. After replacing the seal, the leak was fixed.
Mines stopped and all my oil leaked out when I put some in so we don't have the same problem
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I think I might have this issue right now. There oil on my passenger rim. On my surepentine belt. And its starts to smoke for a couple seconds after driving in the heat for awhile.
I got the same problem smh
@@MrMatthewjackson well that's the problem. I got it fixed an runs like a champ now.
Didn't need a puller came off with a little bit of force
That’s great news.
About how long did this take you to complete?
Thanks for watching & be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already! It took about 2 hours for me to complete.
WorkingWithWimberley Thank you! 😊 Will do!
Hey! i need help! i took off belt tensioner. Put it back on...way to tight...i didnt notice 3/8 drive hole ...we replaced w new one because i literally shredded the tensioner and actually cracked the aluminum slightly. we also bought new harmonic balancer... Now car runs like a dream....just on a scale of 1-10 the harmonic balancer wobbles at a 4...and makes slight chatter noise...my customer is not to angry w me but he is not pleased at all. We got new crankshaft pully bolt to i shot it in w an impact wrench. Also noted after running....i found the bolt was loose a lil bit...maybe was on at 60ft lbs of torque. so i shot it on again w impact wrench.... Now tight but wobbles still and i can hear it....jesus lawd someone help me
The only thing I can think of would be to replace that harmonic balancer and bolt. Since you just bought them, they should be under warranty. Install the new parts to OEM torque specs. with a torque wrench. Don’t use an impact driver. I hope that helps.
@@WorkingWithWimberley Thanks for the video but do you know the specific Oem torque specs for the 2014 Ecotec 2. 4 engine. I just replaced the seal but it wobbles? Any information is appreciated.
How much would work like this cost
I don’t know. You’d have to call a shop and get an estimate. I’m just a dude who did it in his backyard! 😂
Good 💩 bro!!!
Thanks lol!
I believe you are supposed to install it dry and it says not to oil the seal.
Thanks.
@@WorkingWithWimberley Actually that was for the 6 cyl. I'm not sure about the 4.
Just the outer part that presses against the cover, not the inner rubber part.
How much did you pay for the new seal?
It was very inexpensive. I think I paid around $7.
@@WorkingWithWimberley thank you.. i got another question for you.. do u know if this is a common problem with these chevy Malibu's?
@@Daniel-ur7pj I’m not sure about that. I can tell you that mine failed and the car was losing a lot of oil. This was after the car got around 150,000 miles on it.
🙌🏾
the cakesbythelb chick Thanks for checking out the video! I hope it was helpful!!!
