My 2001 ranger is leaking oil out of the crankshaft seal, has anyone changed one of these how difficult is it, or would i be better off taking it somewhere? 2001 ranger edge 4.0 4x4 thanks!

 

front one? Once the pulley is off it pries out and a new one slides in. The rear seal needs the tranny removed to get access.

 

yes front one is there any torque spec on it if so do u know what it might be? Thanks i appricate it, i was told i had to drop the oil pan and so on and so forth i dont know what to believe i hope its easier then all that BS thanks again

 

I'll be doing one in the next couple of days and I'll let you know. It looks pretty straight forward and I don't see any need to touch the pan. In reading up on this in the manual it states to replace the Crank bolt with a new one? Any opinions would be appreciated. Are they prone to fail if used again? I built engines with used head bolts that were suppose to be replaced with new ones with no problems, is this the same.
01 didn't intend to hyjack you thread my apologies.

 

no man its cool its nice to be in the same boat let me know how yours goes i just need torque specs i think just popin the nut off pry the old one out and zippin the nut back on was pretty stright forward but ive never done this before i wanna be 100% possitive its my daily driver so i knida need it lol thanks
