This Elring Crankshaft Shaft Seal (Part Number: 757.497) is designed for vehicle owners and mechanics seeking a reliable, OE-quality replacement part for specific Ford models. Its primary benefit is ensuring a proper seal for the crankshaft, preventing oil leaks and maintaining engine integrity. A potential caveat is its specific vehicle compatibility, requiring careful verification before purchase. Key features include its FPM (fluoride rubber) material, dust cover with a dust lip, and precise dimensions (42mm inner diameter, 56mm outer diameter, 7mm height).

ASW refers to the specific design of the radial shaft seal. In this case, it includes a right-hand twist (swirl type), which is designed to work with the rotation of the crankshaft to help manage oil lubrication at the sealing lip.
FPM stands for Fluoride Rubber. It's a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, aggressive fluids like engine oil, and chemicals, making it ideal for engine seals.
You must verify your vehicle's exact make, model, year, and specific variant against the compatibility list provided in the product description. For Ford models like the Cortina, Consul, and Galaxy, specific generation and body types are listed. If unsure, consult your vehicle's repair manual or a professional mechanic.
The dust lip acts as a secondary barrier, preventing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from reaching the primary sealing lip and the crankshaft surface. This helps to maintain the seal's effectiveness and longevity.
Installation requires specialized tools and mechanical knowledge. It involves accessing the crankshaft and often removing other engine components. If you are not an experienced mechanic, it is recommended to have this seal installed by a professional to ensure proper fitment and prevent damage.
The seal has an inner diameter of 42mm, an outer diameter of 56mm, and a height of 7mm.
This seal (Part Number: 757.497) is compatible with specific Ford models including Ford CORTINA Estate Turnier (GBNK) 1974-1975, Ford CORTINA Estate Turnier (GBNK) 1970-1976, Ford CORTINA Estate Turnier (GBNS) 1976-1979, Ford CONSUL (GGFL) 1972-1975, Ford CONSUL Coupe (GGCL) 1972-1975, and Ford GALAXY MK I VAN (WGR) models from 1996-2006.
The seal may have been damaged during installation, installed crooked, or the crankshaft surface may be scratched. Re-inspect the installation and the crankshaft shaft surface. Consider replacing the seal if damaged.
Double-check the part number (757.497) against your vehicle's requirements and the compatibility list. Ensure you have the correct seal for your specific Ford model and year.
This could indicate a problem with the crankshaft itself (e.g., scoring, excessive runout) or improper installation technique. Ensure the crankshaft surface is smooth and free of damage, and the seal was installed squarely.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, meticulously check that your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine variant are listed within the product's compatibility details. This part is specifically designed for certain Ford models like the Cortina, Consul, and Galaxy (specific generations and body types listed). Incorrect fitment can lead to immediate failure and potential engine damage.
Installation: Installation of a crankshaft seal is an advanced mechanical procedure that typically requires engine disassembly, including removing the crankshaft pulley and potentially the oil pan. Ensure you have the correct tools, such as a seal driver set, and follow the vehicle's specific service manual for proper removal of the old seal and installation of the new one. The seal should be pressed in squarely and to the correct depth. Lubricate the sealing lip lightly with clean engine oil before installation.
Care: Once installed, the seal requires no regular user maintenance. Its performance depends on the correct installation and the overall health of the engine environment (e.g., absence of excessive crankshaft end play or shaft damage). If oil leaks are suspected around the crankshaft area, a professional inspection is recommended.
