I wish I had a faster connection than 565k.

 
OK - your connection is lighting fast... but here's your computer.

Re: Oil Leak 96 Camry

Best to change all the oil seals once the timing cover is removed.

Sounds like an oil pump seal, since those are under pressure.

Tips for the crankshaft oil seal replacement.

These are my own ideas, not necessarily representing them as a

professional approach, but they worked for me.

The big caution when removing the crankshaft oil seal by prying with a

screwdriver as usually recommended, is not to scratch the crankshaft.

Since I didn't want to take a chance on ruining a crankshaft on my

first attempt, and noticed the crankshaft oil seal has a steel backing,

I center punched and drilled some small holes, using tape on the drill

bit to limit depth and proceeding very carefully, then using a hook and

pick set, hooked one of those holes, pulled hard, and the seal popped

out. Turns out drilling one small hole would have been enough.

For driving in the new crank seal, I took the new crank seal to Home

Depot and matched it up with a "wye" ABS black plastic plumbing line.

Turned out to be a standard size - don't remember anymore, 2 1/2" or

something similar. Then held the angle part and tapped on the end with

a small sledge hammer to drive the crank seal in flush. Had tried

finding a socket, but none of the deep sockets, even up to 3/4" drive

at Sears, had enough depth to reach over the crank snout. Good thing I

had that little plumbing pipe because otherwise could not have gotten

the crankshaft oil seal to seat fully - it did have to be driven into

place.

Oil seal replacement was fairly simple, Small seal could be pressed in

by hand. Used a small amount of red grease to hold the little O ring in

place, since it would otherwise fall out of the groove.

Used the electric impact wrench to remove the oil pump pulley bolt,

after removing the oil pump. I used one of those neoprene band clamps

to hold the oil pump sprocket. Some had said it can be extremely

difficult to remove, but mine spun right off.

I wish there was peace on earth.

Granted - there's your date! (I knew this picture would come in handy again!) You two will meet at 8 PM on Friday at the Rusty Rail bath house. Enjoy!

I wish all the hassle of moving was over.

 
Done. Now you just have to clean up the mess. (tornado in Picher, OK leveled the town so all the people waiting to get bought out through superfund don't have any stuff left to move.)

I wish I had a nice t ruck.

 
The fridge still has a distinct smell, but the smell will give you the munchies! (it's a hydroponic growing fridge)

I wish I had thicker hair.

 
thick enough for you?
