BMW X3 Crankshaft Seal

This part termed the Crankshaft Seal is placed in front of the engine in BMW X3 cars and is used to minimize leakage of the engine oil from the crankcase. Usually made of metal and rubber, this round seal is effectively used in maintaining amount of lubrication for some vital Engine parts with the aim of reducing friction and thus prolonging the Engine lifespan. As is the case with most parts in a car, crankshaft seals are also known to wear or degrade with time and this situation is even more likely in high mileage cars. Therefore, one should not overlook the symptoms that indicate that the crankshaft seal is failing because it requires replacement for the optimal engine performance. The design minima of course do not change but the actual body lines may be different across different models of X3 reflecting changes in material used or in engineering techniques employed.

In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW X3 Crankshaft Seal that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Q: How to remove and install the front crankshaft seal on BMW X3?
A:
When replacing the crankshaft seal, it is important to fill the grooves and crankcase seams with special Loctite sealant to prevent oil leaks. To begin, raise the vehicle and remove the splash shield underneath the engine. Next, remove the engine accessory belt and the vibration damper (front pulley), taking care not to remove the vibration damper hub bolt to avoid valve damage. Use BMW special tool 11 9 221 to push the crankshaft seal inward, loosening it for removal. Then, screw BMW special tool 11 O 371 into the seal and rotate it clockwise to pull out the seal. Clean the crankshaft seal seating surface and degrease the area around the crankcase seam. Lightly oil the sealing surface on the vibration damper hub. Attach BM special tool 119 232 to the hub and place the crankshaft seal and installation sleeve over the tool and crankcase opening. Coat the seal grooves with Loctite 171000 primer and ensure they center on the crankcase seam. Use BMW special tools 11 9 231 and 11 9 233 to press in the seal. Coat the seal grooves and crankcase seams with Loctite 171000 primer and fill them with Loctite 128357 sealant using an injector kit. Finally, coat the sealed areas with Loctite 171000 primer and reinstall the crankshaft vibration damper. The remaining assembly is the reverse of the disassembly process.
