Lexus 90311-40022 Type T Oil Seal

Take off the transaxle assembly then disconnect the transaxle from the engine. Next, remove the driveplate. Pop off the Crankshaft Seal with the screwdriver from the rear of the automotive engine and be cautious not to harm the crankshaft or apply scratches on the seal bore. See how far the seal is engraved in the bore before pulling out to ensure that the next seal is inserted to that extent. Wipe the interior of the seal bore in the block with a shop towel to ensure that all the oil and dirt have been wiped out. Apply a film of oil on the outside diameter of the new seal and position it over the end of the crankshaft with the help of the accompanying illustration; the lip should face toward the engine side. When possible, secure a seal installation tool to push the new seal back into its position; otherwise, with a large socket, section of a pipe or a blunt tool, carefully push the new seal with equal force back into the seal hole and resting flat against the edge of the engine block. Lastly, the driveplate must be fixed followed by the transaxle to the engine.
