2 Jack up the front of the car and support it
on axle stands.
3 Remove the right-hand front road wheel
and the access panel under the wheelarch.
4 Place a jack with interposed block of wood
under the sump and just take the weight of
the engine.
5 Undo the two right-hand engine mounting
retaining bolts.
6 Lower the jack slightly to provide access to
the oil cooler and filter head assembly from
under the wheelarch.
7 Undo the three bolts securing the assembly
to the front of the engine.
8 Withdraw the assembly from the engine,
and disconnect the oil pressure switch wiring
and the two coolant hoses (see illustration).
9 Recover the double O-ring seal from the
filter housing outlets on the engine (see
illustration).
10 With the assembly on the bench, undo the
centre bolt from the oil cooler and remove the
cooler from the filter head. Recover the O-
rings.
Refitting
11 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but
lubricate the O-rings prior to fitting. Fill the
cooling system and top-up the engine oil as
described in Chapter 1, on completion.

the retaining bolts to the specified torque. Use
new O-rings on all components.

Front oil seal
1 Remove the timing belt as described in
Section 12.
2 Withdraw the sprocket from the crankshaft
together with the timing belt guide plate.
3 Remove the Woodruff key from the slot in
the crankshaft.
4 Note the fitted depth of the oil seal in
relation to the front of the housing as an aid to
refitting.
5 Punch or drill two small holes opposite
each other in the seal. Screw a self tapping
screw into each, and pull on the screws with
pliers to extract the seal.
6 Clean the seal location in the pump
housing, and clean off any burrs or raised
edges, which may have caused the seal to
fail.
7 Lubricate the lips of the new seal with clean
engine oil and carefully locate the seal over
the crankshaft and into the housing.
8 Using a tubular drift which bears on the
hard outer edge of the seal, drive the seal into
the housing to the previously noted depth.
9 Refit the Woodruff key to the crankshaft.
10 Refit the timing belt guide plate and
sprocket to the crankshaft.
11 Refit the timing belt as described in
Section 12.
Rear oil seal
12 Remove the flywheel/driveplate as

13 Punch or drill two small holes opposite
each other in the seal. Screw a self tapping
screw into each, and pull on the screws with
pliers to extract the seal.
14 Clean the seal housing, and polish off any
burrs or raised edges, which may have
caused the seal to fail in the first place.
15 Lubricate the lips of the new seal with
clean engine oil and carefully locate the seal
on the end of the crankshaft.
16 Using a large tubular drift bearing on the
hard outer edge of the seal, drive the seal into
the housing until it is flush with the housing
face.
17 Clean off any surplus oil then refit the
flywheel/driveplate as described in Sec-
tion 22.
