2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV Engine Mount Bracket

You need to remove the automatic transmission flexplate, the oil pan-to-rear oil seal housing bolts, the rear oil seal housing bolts, and the rear oil seal housing and gasket and discard the gasket and remove and discard the rear oil seal.

You need to apply a 5 mm (0.2 in) bead of sealant, 20 mm (0.8 in) long to the oil pan to the engine block junction, position a new rear oil seal housing gasket and the housing to the engine, install the rear oil seal housing bolts until snug and the oil pan-to-rear oil seal housing bolts until snug and rotate the crankshaft until 2 opposing flywheel bolt holes are parallel to the oil pan surface. Then you can install the J 41476 and bolts onto the rear of the crankshaft, tighten the J 41476 bolts until snug, remove the J 41476, install a new crankshaft rear oil seal and remove the automatic transmission flexplate.
