Wrangler JK 3.8L Crankshaft Seal Replacement

This video shows you how to replace the crankshaft seal, also called the harmonic balancer seal, on the Chrysler/Jeep 3.8L V6 found on 2007-2011 Wrangler JKs and some other vehicles. As part of this procedure, you'll be removing and installing the harmonic balancer, so if you only need to replace that, this video will also show you how.

I truly appreciate the video. Just noticed my Jeep has a leak from the front main seal. Your video was very helpful.

Appreciate the 3.8 content! Not many video resources for them that are presented quite so well.

came here to see which direction the seal goes. it seems to be directional and i don’t know which way the old one came out.

I wasn't sure if you were still questioning which way the seal goes or if you got your answer, but just in case you are still wondering the open side where you can see the spring goes toward the crankcase and the solid side that looks just like a rubber face goes toward the front of the Jeep. Hope that helps!
