Hello everybody! Good day to you! Welcome back! This is episode two of this 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche Four-wheel drive with a 5.3 liter. It's here for a nasty oil leak repair. You can see there's oil everywhere down here. oil dripping all down the back of the bell housing.
Uh, our bottom of the oil pan. Everywhere you look, there's oil. So uh, we're in the process of pulling this transmission out. Uh, getting the exhaust out of this thing was a bear that required the use of the Torches.
We got the thing off in uh, part one and I was spent. So I went ahead and ended the day. Uh, if you uh, have missed part one or would like to go back and see it, just checking the links down inside of this video's description and it will take you back in time to uh, the first part of this particular Series So uh, all that self-promotion out of the way. We're gonna go ahead and get the transmission jack underneath of this transmission and transfer case assembly.
We're gonna support the weight. We're gonna unbolt the battle housing. We're gonna slip it away from the engine and take the uh the transmission out of said vehicle. Once the transmission's out, we can go back up to the engine.
Uh, pull the flywheel slash flex plate off. It's actually a flex plate. Everybody calls him a flywheel. We're gonna pull the flex plate off.
and uh, once the flex Plate's off, that's going to expose the rear cover of the engine which encases the crankshaft seal. and we're going to see if it's the crank seal or if it's the cover perimeter gasket around the crank seal. so let's keep digging. We don't know exactly what's leaking yet, but we're gonna find it, so stay tuned because this is going to be very good.
Video Opening Z Hood All right Trans Jack coming up. Let's get that thing in position and we'll go ahead and strap it on with some ratchet straps or something like that and contact. There we go. So now that this thing is in position, we can take the uh, the jack stand out of here.
We'll just unscrew it a little bit, it's going to come down and now the transmission jack is taking the weight there. we go. So far, so good. Get this thing out of here.
Let's set this guy right over here on the other side of our shafts. There we go. right there. Okay, we're looking at the right side of the bell housing here and we've got one studded bolt here.
two three, one up top in the middle and this little bracket here for the tube. It's the dipstick tube for the trans, so we've got to start pulling this side out. Then we'll go pull the other side out. So let's go ahead and get this bracket unclicked first see if it's gonna willingly come out.
Yeah, yeah, it came out just fine. That's perfect. We like it when that happens. I'm gonna go ahead and get all these bolts removed.
I'll leave the bottom of these studded Fasteners in just to secure everything for the time being and then that'll give me time to get the top top bolts out and the two on the bottom at the oil pan. So we'll get that one out of there. This one. We're just gonna crack it loose. You hear me become on loose sticker here. There we go. Leave that one loose. We'll pull this bottom one out right here.
You guys see that one? Yeah, kinda. Let's get that one there. and gravity. So all the way up top there's a bracket and a nut and then behind that bracket.
even though there's a bolt, we have to get that one out next. We would have to get that one next. but I like to get that one as soon as possible because it's hard to do. you know? I Actually, everything on this truck's hard to do.
Oh there it is. Got it? Not gravity? Let's see here. let's get that bracket out of the way. It's just kind of hanging on to a vent tube.
Let's push that aside and then I can get to the 15 millimeter studded studded bolt that's in there going back in. Yeah, that's pretty far away. You guys can see that thing. can't you right there? Yeah, let's just get the uh, let's get our socket on that thing.
long range Style Okay, Sockets on. See that. let's do this in one shot. Ah, unclick.
Yeah, people forget that. and then we try to pull the trans out and break the uh, the ear off for the bell housing. That's not good. It's bad.
Yeah, it didn't fall out. So let me reach in there and fetch that thing. otter. Woohoo! Okay, that's about half the bolt so far.
Okay, on the driver's side, that's the upper left side. Bolt there's an extra one on this side. and then I've got the two. the two side bolts next to the uh, the pins.
Let's get those guys next unclicked. Ah, and that one up there looks hard to reach. Let's get that guy next. All right.
get on there. What are you doing? Oh no kick that didn't work. Oh, it's kind of loose. Maybe I can just get it by hand.
Yeah, sure can. and that other one's still up there. I didn't I didn't pull that one out yet. Oh yeah, we got to get the transmission lines removed.
Also, didn't pull any of those yet. Uh, either. that's not working. Tools are falling apart all right.
One more down here in the bottom of the bell housing. but I need to get the trans line off first. Okay, hang on. I need the oil drain? Oh no I just looked at the camera and uh, it wasn't recording.
So anyway I just pulled the uh transmission line assembly off. So now we've got one Bolt left on the bell housing and we can start to wiggle this thing free. Failed at my job I am terrible cameraman. Okay, that should be the last bolt connecting these two assemblies.
Okay, so what we're gonna do. We're gonna get in here and just kind of pry on this a little bit to try to separate it from the engine. Just a little bit of pry action. We don't want to break anything and it's not going to.
uh, want to come loose from the pins here I need to spray those I should have done that yesterday. All right, a little bit of spray on that PIN summon the holes, some on the side. whatever lubricated you need to break the uh, the corrosion. These guys are kind of stuck and all you can really do is just keep applying pressure, relieving, applying relieving and eventually it'll work its way off of that. PIN There's a dowel on either side of the engine block that sticks into the bell housing and of course the corrosion captures it and the pieces don't separate. but we can see it's starting to move and we can hear it moving. This is good. We go pry the other side and we'll work it from there.
Yeah, I was wiggling at some. We can see that gap's getting a little bit bigger so I'm just going to keep. Uh, keep working that a little bit and hopefully it'll come all the way out there. We go see that Gap it's starting to open up and that's what we want.
Just like that the more it moves farther away, that's going to come apart and eventually it's going to let go all the way. All right, All right. So I was on the other side wiggling and uh, this side came out. So now we need to just go over and out and work the passenger side pin.
You can see the pin fully right here. see all that? That thing was corroded into the bell housing. So we just keep on this wiggle action and eventually that other side is going to come free the own prying it? Okay, we're back on the passenger side again and it it started to come out a little bit, but it's being very reluctant on this side here so I'm just gonna keep up with this battle of attrition. Just keep wiggling and wiggling and wiggling.
That little bit of motion up there is allowing all that penetrating fluid to seep in and kind of break up some of that corrosion in that rust that should get these two pieces separated if it doesn't, a little escalate on our levels of violence and start hammering pry bars in. like, right here. Yep, yeah, this thing's not going. Don't do that.
That's it. She's free. Perfect. That scared me.
That was abrupt. Okay, so this is free. kinda. it's a little free.
Let me. scooch it back to him. and then we need to do a visual inspection to make sure everything is disconnected. Like this.
dipstick tube right here. That's a big pain. Mm-hmm let's let the unit down some. There we go.
No dipstick tube. Don't go back. It was out and then it fell back in. All right, let's work on dropping this thing down.
We need to kind of pull it back and then rotate it and then let the front down because out back there's another cross member that the tail shaft I'm transfer case overhangs and we cannot remove that cross member. so we need to kind of squeeze this thing. You know, just out it comes out. But it's a it's a process.
The two-wheel drives are super easy, but this one not so much so through that dipstick tube. I should have pulled the the tube or the dipstick out of the tube and I didn't That's what's getting it hung up. See, there's the there's the dipstick right there. I Might have to go up on a ladder and get it out because it's kind of in the way. Give one more shot here. Come on. Tube Just just come out of there. it's not working.
stupid. There we go. Got it? Okay, I'm gonna let it down a little bit. get some more clearance.
There we go. Okay, unit's gonna come down a little bit more and we're going to rotate it a little bit, more It'll be ready to come out shortly. All right. we need to get a get a hold of it on this side because this is where all of our fitment issues are.
So let's move over here and then we can let this thing down, tilt it this way, and then we'll pull it out. Okay, coming down some more again. that tail shaft is kind of hooked up on it or, uh, caught up on the cross member. so we have to kind of drive this around that obstacle and wiggle this out that way.
It's a it's not fun here. blend it down some more and moving the lines and kind of stuff. Yeah, it's a little stuck going back up there. Foreign.
We need to go back up some and push the tail shaft rearwards work. We're pretty hung up here. I'm actually kind of stuck. Let's get our tilt going a little bit better.
Here we go. That's what I wanted. a little bit of motion. We'll pull this guy out this way.
Come on, let's try some down action. Okay, a little more. Yes, I could have taken the transfer case off, but where's the challenge in that? Didn't think so. All right at this point.
we were pretty much free and clear. There's just a little bit, uh, a little bit of that tail shot sticking out, but we can get that out of the way quite easily. Yeah, we're just gonna go and start letting it down. There you go, tail shafts coming clear and come out back and help it out some.
All right. Tail shaft is free, oh sketchy, and the unit is 100 free. And let's go ahead and let it down all the way down. Okay, so the unit is 100 free and clear.
I'm gonna go ahead and hit the valve on, uh, on the jack and we're gonna let this guy down real slow. like I'll keep hands on it, guide it, make sure nothing's getting hung up. Good to go, a little bit more speed on the down. There we go a little more and drivetrain assembly is out.
Woohoo! A lot of work for an oil leak. Okay, let's roll this thing out of the way. just gonna pull it back some come on you heavy thing you let's go. Okay, that's good.
So now that we have this entire drivetrain out of the way, let's go ahead and get back up to our engine here and see what we've got to work with. Yeah, look at that. There's a bunch of streaks running right here from oil. Got some on the back of the crank? Let's go ahead and pull this flex plate off of here and see what's going on. It's got oil flinging off of it all over the place on clicks. surprise this whole. pulling these off. These things are loaded with dreadlock and stuff.
Okay, that's all. bolts. Set those guys down. Drop two of them, no worries.
and flex plate. They're coming with me. Come on. Come off.
Seriously. What? Come on dude. Really? I Need to pry bar the flex plate off. There's like a film or something built up around this.
Yeah. I Need to pry bar this. Get out of here. It's a new one.
Uh, correction I need to pry bar this without bending it because these are not the thickest of components. All right. So I just needs kind of a little bit of encouragement rather than Force Come on there we go. Oh yeah, look at that.
There's oil all over here. Yeah, there's a bunch right there. A bunch right here. Let's take a look inside of the bell housing.
Yep, we're flinging oil here. See all that? Okay, all right, let's get this cover off. So we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, Nintendo 13 or whatever of these 13 mil bolts. two of these long ones, a lot of oil right here.
and then this little guy over here. these are all tens and the others like I said are 13s. Pull that guy out. A bunch of oil came with it.
Those threads are full of oil right there. Same with these ones. Yeah, we get leaks right here at the pan gasket where this back cover mates up to it in a little bit right here. So last time I had one of these covers off the thing Shot oil all over my face when I broke it free from the blush I mean I tried you used the up.
Oh man, what? that was stupid. Are you serious? Look at that. all of my nice new stuff. it like straight money shot to the face.
You gotta be kidding me. it's running down my cheek I'm going to attempt to avoid that this time around. Come on higher. some of my tippy toes is okay and grab bar.
just gonna get behind it wherever I can right there is good and we'll just kind of pry it away to separate it. From the Block There we go. Yeah see, look at that. That's the same place for the oil shot at me from last time.
Pry it away right here and we're in all right okay. taking a look at this thing from the back side and we see that gas Focus gasket's not doing so well right there. It's very flattened through here and we're separated over here. Okay, I'm good with this.
Okay, well I do not have uh, my replacement cover or crankshaft seal yet. You can replace just the seal right here. this, uh, this perimeter gasket. um I think you can replace the crank seal without the cover, but it's also available as as one single unit.
So uh, like I said I don't have that thing here yet. So that kind of puts me dead in the water for right now. So I really have no choice but to go ahead and close this video and I'll do that as always by thanking each and every one of you guys for watching this video. Hope you enjoyed this video. If you did enjoy this video, please feel free to let me know about that by tapping that like button down below. If you did not enjoy this video then uh, well go back and watch something else in my catalog. Maybe you'll enjoy that so again and as always, thank you guys for watching and most importantly, do not forget to have yourselves a gray day! See you guys later in Part two:.
You do very well without a helper.
Flywheel in the UK 🇬🇧 matey
Would anti-sieze be helpful on those locating dowels?
I was watching one of your old videos from the old shop and I realized how much I enjoy NOT hearing the phone ring over the paging system, that was SO ANNOYING please don't put that in your new shop.
True story automatic transmissions have flex plate manual transmission have flywheel
Try Loctite 8040 freeze/release, works brilliantly. Expensive stuff but easy use. If you wanted and have access to one a plumbers pipe freezing kit will do the same.
We're did u get ur tranny jacks
That Y pipe with 3 cats represents half the value of the vehicle.
I’m amazed at the lack of expletives 😂
Every part on this truck was super hard…
555 comments hmm interesting Energies here in the comment section. To everyone that gives Ray a positive comment thank you and to those who share their mechanical experiences to help Ray fix wat ever he is working on a lil easier thats a triple thank you. It also helps us who read the comments as well.
That's what she said HAHAHAHA
These kind of jobs is why I don't want to be a mechanic
You are definitely persistent! You always find a solution – amazing!
Not sure what's worse; that fixing an oil leak is so labor-intensive, or the fact that the engine is so poorly engineered that it would even develop an oil leak in that location in the first place.
Just noticed this same leak on my Silverado.
What a bunch of malarky for an oil seal 😳
Man that's was alot of manual work to fix, I'd just keep adding oil and put something under to catch the drips… eze peze! Lol
Love that "Gravity."
Stupid design comes to mind!
“It’s running down my cheek!”
Win/win
Or go dealer ship ..maybe not
Squashed like…well just buy the wattanty too be cool
Got jack stand Fever …Harbour Freight.
Wind power and storm is shaking…got solar panel..go hybrid
Watching the swivel made me wonder, why not a constant velocity type swivel?
Is there a reason they don't exist?
Money shot to the face, ( that's what she said ) lol.
Cool baked beans
Its tits
Winds spinn d*ck in Az..banking power…run a washing at night tho.
No grid…me happy
They bought it…case closed
Like you…great work…just don't pump this stuff
Die hard battery popped
Plastic alternator bad!
Jeeps with plastic Engine Blocks
Saved money to put in pee wee dip stick to automotive transmissions…yipee
Good your a going
Puts food on a table
Junks introduced as a Hero…ha
Reeeee! If EVERYONE calls it a flywheel, then it kind of IS a flywheel. Checkmate!
I'm disappointed that we didn't get another money shot lol, that was the only reason we were watching after the last one you did. Not really Ray, good work as always, there's always one job that just fights you at every step…..this one is yours. Keep working mate, it's all downhill from here. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺
Just a comment, I normally take the transfer case off just to make the job easier 😁
Work at a chevy dealer as an apprentice, always cool to see you work on things I see daily. Never seen someone pull the trans on one of these without removing the transfer case😂 Adding that to the notepad for sure lmaoo
Should have put some torch on it
I often find it easier to pull the engine out on some 4x4s
Hi Ray you’re A magician don’t know how you do taking trans out but it’s was beautiful video and as always you and you’re families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm having doodaloo withdraws lol 😂 I do miss that aspect of the fine ray videos, need make a recording have it go off like every 1 1/2 minutes
Great stuff Ray. You da man,
Just keep prying prying prying just keep prying prying
Nice job Ray.
What a PITA trans to pull…they could have at least made some kind of notch or joggle in the crossmember to accomodate the removal as 1 unit.
man that exhaust yesterday was a pain to remove compared to the transmission, ya made that look easy.
Oh man Mr.O needs to see this or better yet the BEAR of the video – part1 of this. He had to cut off 2 studs and a clamp. Phew I was worn out watching it. Wonder what he would do without power tools? An oil change or spark plugs would be 4 part 1 hour videos. Gotta sleep over night to recoup them arms between videos.
I love your videos my friend. Keep up the good work. As soon as I have spare money, I will order some of your merchandise.
In a family way – can you explain what a money shot is . Lol
i couldn't help laughing when you got your face covered in oil i so remember that.
i just pulled the transmission on my samurai this weekend. 4 bolts hold that thing to the engine and then bench press it out!
thank youi
Great video and kid units = future camera person. Time to get them a toy camera to practise with.
A two piece rear main seal is far less involved, they also do not last. Old cars/trucks would rot away before your very eyes, yet the engine and transmission from the valve cover down would be perfectly preserved under a layer of accumulated greasy buildup from all the oil seeping out from everywhere. Two piece rear main seals, front crank seals that were nothing more than a felt washer packing, cork gaskets everywhere. So easy to work on cause they needed it constantly.
Then look at that Avalanche, that transmission and engine outside of that immediate oil leak are a corroded, crusty mess because they have stayed seal up so well for so long.
For the average vehicle a rear main seal is a once in the vehicles lifetime type repair.
What a load of work!
Position of trans jack looks pretty dangerous. With transfer case still on trans, it will be quite tail heavy? Having done a couple, I would save the screwing around by taking the transfer case off the trans. Makes everything easier. Yes you are always successful in making everything harder than you need to, so you do get the "challenge" you aspire to.
metal wiggle pin-zicle pliable chiselable
I take the transfer case off…
Little late but with these 6spd autos, that would have been a good time to replace that torque converter. They fail and send metal through the entire trans ruining it.
I just want to know the final bill on this. I paid $600 recently to a mechanic for inner and outer tie rods installed on a Honda accord. I figure this job was $2000-3000 😮 ; what do you think?
I often find myself answering you, or telling you something, and pointing to show you something.
I don't EVEN want to see you try and get that back together with that weight and hard to reach bolts!
This is the only job I’m not looking forward to on my Chevy avalanche
I’ve already did the oil pan pickup tube o ring and gasket
Let’s hope I get to about 200-250k miles b4 I have to do it because I’m currently at 111k miles
I think it’s crazy that you took the transmission out for the oil pan leaking 😮
My 07 classic has 301k and no leaks anywhere I feel fortunate.
THIS GUY IS A WIZARD WHEN IT COMES TO AUTO REPAIR✌️✌️✌️I ENJOY JUST WATCHING HIM WORK HIS MAGIC✌️✌️✌️💚💚💚💚💚
…Ray…how the heck you gonna get that monstrosity back in…by yourself !? lordy lordy …😛
What a PITA of a job .You need a medical full face shield for the oil spatter.Back in my day I could pull/replace two auto trannys but they were on Aus GM vehicles that were simple 4 speeds I f I owned that thing I would put some gasket repair solution in it & flip it.
As long as you had the transmission out I would send it out to be rebuilt.
Excuse me, I'm agent Butt Hurt with the snowflake police. I must inform you good sir, this is 2023, and you are not allowed to say trans when referring to an automobiles transmission. The sensitive snowflakes might get offended. You must either say transmission in it's entirety or gearbox. Thank you for your cooperation.
Your use of Milwaukee, ratchets and drivers has inspired me to purchase my own set of M 18’s and associated impact rated pits and sockets. I could never justify the cost of a snap on product, even with the warranty.
""MECHANICS"" disassembly of, and reassembly of, 3D puzzles….
Auto Design ""People"", making the most difficult, complicated, and tight squeeze puzzles ever imagined….
Out of curiosity, how much labor did you charge for this diagnosis? A customer asked me the other day if I would do any work on the side (I work at a franchise shop) and I’ve been giving her suggestion some serious thought. I’d love to get an insight on your business
I think that most people call the flex plate a flywheel because of that a lot of people think of the old Ford Flex plate that was basically just thin tin that would break if you lost the pins that were between the transmission and the flex plate. I know that Ford used them on the older Mustangs that had the inline 6 engines but do not know what other cars they used them on.
This should have been in 3D.
Holy moly, what a cluster $#$% .. No thanks , my technician days are long gone.. I don't know how you do it but I am just impressed at the final result after all that struggling.. To me I would let it go or trade it in and get a new car if I could.. Keep on doing what you do Ray
Ok call me ignorant or whatever- but all the torque from the engine is transmitted just through those three bolts from the flex plate into the torque converter? No spline or anything? Hmm, where's my calculator…
Wouldn't it of been easier/Less time consuming to drop the engine and trans and use an engine hoist and pull the engine & trans through the engine bay ? Then use an engine stand to hold the engine and the trans on the trans jack and seperate the 2.
Takes 2hrs if done by myself and if i have another set of helpy helper hands to help can disconnect the engine and trans and drop the exhaust etc and have it out in 45mins.
Also on Project Jeep. When you put the trans back looks like you left 1 of the small square lights inside the bell housing/clutch area. the video does cut briefly and some stuff is in a different place and doesn't line up prior to the small cut in the video maybe from editing the video ?
So not sure if you realised and undid it and grabbed the torch of camera and the little cut in the video is an edit 🤔
I find myself saying "unclick" now when working on my truck! Great video as usual
Wobbly bit saves my day.
You can get the seal and the gasket separate from the plate
I lost a freezeplug on the back of a sb Chevy. Pull the motortrans out , separate, remove clutch, remove flywheel, remove freezeplug! Re assemble! All for a. 75 cent part! Fun,fun!
Wait to that engine drops a lifter🤯? about seven Grand Plus to fix it🤬😡
Watching you do this work on modern cars reminds me why I don’t do hardly any work on my newer cars.
Wouldn't becoming unloose be tightened?
That sure is a lot of work for a $5.00 seal. Hats off to you sir. Watching part one with the exhaust bolts, that was making me tired just watching lol…. thanks for sharing…
I guess whomever designed these engines are not mechanics where they would need to perform regular maintenance. I'm sure if they were, engines would be if not but better accessible.
I think it would have easier to just buy a new truck….
Unbeleivable how much work that is all labor parts cheap
Job almost done again.
flex plate is same as fly wheel correct?
