Thank you so much for this video. I have a slow coolant leak on my 2013 Mustang and thought my water pump was going out, but couldn't find the location. After watching your video I now know that that seal is going out because that's the general area of the leak. Had no idea that part even existed. Just ordered it from my local Ford dealer and picking it up tomorrow. You saved me a lot of time and headaches. Thanks again.
@@stephenpaul6118 awesome thank you! glad this video was able to help you, that’s the whole point of putting them out. Hope you subscribe for future how to’s 🙏
I see....actually recent discussion on this To get that inner part out of the seal out i kept working it loose with a flat head and finally able to get some big longer tweezer tool i got from harbour freight around part of it then i could pull it out Now i need to put the new one in I really could use some guidance on how everyone got the new worked into place
@@kennethmcroy9403 OK yeah I see that a few people have different opinions on this and that’s perfectly fine but this is the way we did it the way I showed it in the video is how we were able to remove it and get it back on it. Just take some patience. You just gotta work it in and once you put the water pump back in everything should be seated in place. I mean this video was done a long time ago and the job we did is still working perfectly fine, just have patience.
@@Drzaauto having such a difficult time getting 2nd half out looks like it has metal band inside too. Thinking of melting plastic with a hot nail ... thoughts
If anyone is having trouble getting out of the other half of the gasket, what i did was pick at the metal band with picks and a flathead until it became loose from the timing cover. From there, I bent the metal band with a flathead to make it so I could pull it out with pilers. After about 2 hours at this, it finally came out. Have patience with it, and it will come out eventually.
So I know this is a year old but just went through this. I finally have all the seal out. My question is how do get the new one in? The one that came out looked like it was pushed in from the back side. Can it be replaced from the front side?
@@kennethmcroy9403 I got it in from the front by using a non-jelly type lubricant that would not damage the rubber and just gently push it in. The water pump will seat it. That’s how I got it in. Hope this helps.
Just finished this job Everything seems but still a bit nervous that everything is sealed We will know tomorrow when it is driven more. If I did this again I would not touch that seal whatsoever. Our leak was up high so not thus spot Oh well- I really appreciate your video though as it was very helpful to get this whole thing resolved
I'm a little confused, i think this gasket is pressed on from the back side of the timing chain cover. How did you get the new one entirely in place by putting it through the front of the timing chain cover?
@@BrianKarleskind OK I get how it could be confusing but you don’t have to take the cover off. All you have to do is have some patience and work it in once you put the water pump on everything should be seated in place that’s what we did and it worked.
sorry to hear.. if the pipe is damaged there's not much you can do but change it out. If its just stuffed up then you can try clean it up the best you can with some RTV (lightly)
Looks like BMW engineers are infiltrating Fords… my 335is has loads of horror stories like this… crappy plastic/ rubber parts falling apart and causing hours of needless pain and suffering.

@@Drzaautowhat is the tweezer tool you got a Harbor Freight?
No i use whatever was in my toolbox, no HF
@@Drzaauto having such a difficult time getting 2nd half out looks like it has metal band inside too. Thinking of melting plastic with a hot nail ... thoughts
It’s called engine timing cover seal. Engine water pump housing gasket.
Thanks 👍
I'm about to start on this tomorrow. How many people actually had success doing this without removing the timing chain cover?.
great video, just about to do this job. thanks for the heads up!
Awesome information ℹ️ thank you guys ❤🫡💯
Thank you, I hope it help you !
When installing the new seal, how do you know it is pushed back far enough. Will it be obvious?
thank you so much for that seal info help me so much
No problem, glad it helped!!

yes sir patience is the key word, it is hard to get that out but doable.
Thanks for the heads up and help with getting the seal completely out.
@@stephenpaul6118 no problem, glad it help!
Did u just press the new one on Thu the front?
@@Xjcossell yes sir
When replacing - do you just press in from the front?
So I know this is a year old but just went through this.
I finally have all the seal out.
My question is how do get the new one in?
The one that came out looked like it was pushed in from the back side.
Can it be replaced from the front side?

Gotcha
So putting the water pump in will seat it?
Wondered that but wanted to be sure

what happens if this gasket is damaged and not replaced? i dont understand its function
Replace if not, you’re gonna have another leak
Tried to remove it but damaged some of the pipe 😭 any suggestions?

@@Drzaauto thanks I was able to get it all out put the new gasket ring in and runs fine should I be worried about coolant getting in the engine?

hello, can anyone tell me that part # so I can ask my dealer? thanks for the video really helps me.

if you’re ever struggling to get the seal out, put a screw in it and use some really good pliers and yank it out. dont go in too deep
Thank you
