Replacing the camshaft oil seal is straightforward but requires removing the timing pulley and the timing belt itself: you need to be familiar with disassembly while maintaining the timing references. Once the timing components are removed and the old oil seal is extracted, clean the seating area thoroughly, lubricate both the seating and the new oil seal generously with clean oil, and insert it with the lip facing inward, pressing it in until it is fully seated with the appropriate tool.

Then, install the timing pulley and the timing belt.
