- How to remove and replace the camshaft seal on a Toyota Camry 5FSE engine. We removed the valve cover to remove and replace the camshaft seal which made replacement of the seal a much easier job. When you remove the valve cover to replace the seal, you won't scratch or damage the machined surface or skin the seal if it doesn't go in square.

It takes a woman to make something easy. I've watched so many videos, all by men. Every one was different and looked so difficult. I even called a repair person because I decided this job was going to be too much. A friend found your video and I am extremely impressed! Thank you so much! My friend and I are going to replace my camshaft seal. I love this!
Oh, Deborah, you make me laugh! Yes, ma'am, you can do it, and it's not difficult. I applaud your efforts at doing it yourself and saving a bunch of money! You go girl!
The best diy vid of replacing a toyota cam seal that i found,
Unfortunatly i still got those new seals leaking on my 3sge gen 3 engine after replacing them in almost the same way like you did in the video.
The only thing i did different was adding a tiny bit of rtv sealant on the caps (where the toyota mechanics told you to not put sealant)
And i used some engine oil instead of the pink toyota grease
I will need to try this again but this time i will take out the cams with the seal still on to see if i might have had the sealing lip bent, if thats not the case then i will inspect for a groove in the cam where it meets the seal. If that looks ok then i will measure it out too see if the cams are bent.
I will get new sport cams
If the 2 last problems are the cause of not sealing off
Thank you, Mono. I appreciate that--truly. It'a BIG bummer you have to redo. I've faced that, too. We learn as we go. I'm still learning and in my 60s. ;) For what it's worth, were I you, I'd use the pink Toyota grease and no RTV sealant. I always have the pink grease on hand when working on a Toyota, and that's all I own. I've got no leaks. Hope this helps you.
@@frugaldiy1 thanks, i will purchase the pink grease
Please keep making more 5SFE and Camry videos! The best videos I’ve ever seen for this gen Camry & 5SFE BY FAR! 🔥🔥🔥
Diego, you make me smile. Thank you for that and for your thoughtful, kind and encouraging words. They mean a great deal to me, truly. I'm so happy the videos are helping you with your projects. My sister and I enjoy working on vehicles and homes and want to share what we have learned and know to help others save their hard-earned money. Save your money and retire early!
My car leak and i open the timing belt i want to just put screw on the seal but when i see your video i will open the valve cover and make the work on right way,,, thank you ❤
Simply wonderful!! Thank you for so selflessly sharing your time, knowledge and skill!!
Thank you, Noey, for all of your gracious comments.. They ALL mean a lot to me. I'm pressed you're fixing your own car. Respect! ;)
this is exactly what I was looking for, super helpful, thank you!!!
You're welcome, White Eagle! Thank you for leaving a comment to let me know the video helped you. I appreciate that. Happy DIYing!
Thank you for the nice information
shame you have so few likes. you are awesome!
That's kind of you to say, West_Park. Thank you.
I am very impress, you can work on my car anytime!! WOW!
Thank you, Terrence, for your lovely comment! How kind of you. Your words mean a great deal to us.
Is it ok to install the camshaft seal first and the retaining cap next? I have seen in most videos that they assemble everything first and install the seal last. There is not enough room around camshaft seals on my car (Peugeot 406). The area is so tight that I can't use a hammer to install new cam seals. Can I use your method to install my camshaft seals?
I was also thinking about using the camshaft sprocket bolts as tools for installing cam seals (with a proper washer and a big socket).
Hi, thanks for making the video. Do you have any updates? Like finding any leaks after finishing job and/or anything you would have done differently?
You're welcome, Bernardo. It's been a year and a half, and there are no leaks. I can't think of anything we would have done differently. The job turned out great. I would recommend rechecking the torque on the valve cover nuts periodically because they will need to be tightened after the initial torque because they will back off a bit. That's just a common issue with the 5SFE engine. Good luck on your project.
@@frugaldiy1 Thank you!
i did everything wrong. screwdriver, hammer, and scratched the cylindrical surface. How do I fix it? Polish with fine sand paper? In my defense, the seal was baked into the upper part and the rubber disintegrated..
Don't be hard on yourself, West_Park. We all make mistakes. If you scratched the bearing cap, I'd take it to a machine shop to see if they can smooth the surface for you.
@@frugaldiy1 Thank you so much for your quick response. I was replacing the camshaft seal. I gently hit the middle of the seal with a dull screwdriver and hammer. However, it did not come out easily. I pushed too hard, and I scratched the camshaft surface near the end. (The rubber was glued to the socket for unknown reason.) There is a ring line where the old oring was sealing. This line is not affected. I believe that I may just let it go, because the scratch does not touch the oring. However, I want to do it right. So I started rubbing the scratch mark with sand paper. someone advised320-400-600-800-1000-1500-2000. I am at the 320 grit. What do you think?
I think you have a good plan. You sound quite knowledgeable so I don't worry about you overdoing it with the sand paper.
@@frugaldiy1 I just finished the sand paper exercise. the 1500 gave me shiny mirror like appearance. the scratches are now tiny specks and they are away from the seal line. Thanks! Happy new year.
Job well done! Happy New Year!
Hi, thanks for video. I'll be tackling TB and WP on my 97 Celica, 230,000 miles. Got all of the tools and parts I need. I'm pretty confident about being able to do it. Have oil pump seal and gasket. Also cam seal. Do you have a video of cam shaft sprocket removal? One thing that worries me is spinning the cam with the TB removed. With this in mind did you loosen the cam sprocket with the belt still on, you could then tighten back up enough to get TDC etc. Did not think about the cam shaft seal, I guess you'd recommend doing this even though there is no leak? One other thing, my Aisin kit comes with instructions. Turning the belt a couple of times at the end of the job differs slightly based on whether the tension spring is green or silver? All of the videos I've seen show a silver spring so I'm sure my car will be no different but just curious to know why a spring color would make a difference, lol.
Hi, Robb. Here's a little info for you.
Here's the link to my video titled, "Loosen Bolt on Camshaft Pulley Before Removing Timing Belt" czcams.com/video/1cOIXpDRfmY/video.html.
Here's a link to my video on how to torque the camshaft bolt: "Torque Camshaft Pulley Bolt"
czcams.com/video/Q15R6JT40gs/video.html
The silver spring has 13 coils and 46mm long. The green spring has 10 coils and 50mm long.
@@frugaldiy1 thanks.read my message again-meant to say never thought about replacing crank (not cam) shaft seal. Would you do this as well, I think I know your answer! Yes will watch your video on cam shaft later. Watching as many videos I can to try and avoid any pitfalls, they all mean well but some of them miss important steps that could result in having to do the job again. They also apply grease and sealant to things that aren’t necessary and can cause premature wear! Also have the passenger side CV axle to replace, replaced these before but never changed a TB.
Got it. YES, replace ALL seals. Here's my video for the crankshaft seal: czcams.com/video/yrOPEjMVx9A/video.html

I highly recommend use of the pink Toyota grease. We followed the recommendations of Toyota mechanics re the application of greases on the seals.
@@frugaldiy1 thanks, will watch later-now ordered the OEM crank seal from Amazon, grease from eBay. Noticed the grease is applied on the inner part of the seals only.
Good. Yes, the pink grease is applied to the inner side of the seals only, per Toyota.
