Crankshaft rubber seal

What's up guys ??

I'm back with a question....

I was changing the timing belt this weekend and while everything was apart I wanted to change the rubber seal behing the crankshaft pulley. I think that oil has been leaking from somewhere around there so I might as well try changing the seal to see if it would stop leaking.........
the problem is that I can't buy it from anywhere........I checked a bunch of local parts stores but none of them carry it.
Dealerships were closed since it was Labor Day. Nopi has a link for the part but nothing shows up when one clicks on the link.

any help as to where I could buy this rubber seal would be greatly appreciated.

seals

You can get them from your Mazda dealer. I replaced both my crank seal and cam seal and distributor O ring and timing belt and I got OEM parts from my dealer. Oh..and the valve cover gasket as well. It's a pain in the *** to replace since the seals were so hardened that I couldn't pull tehm out.

Thanks for the very helpful info guys......... I took care of everything and the car is back on the road again..........
I visited a local Mazda dealership and they provided me with the needed parts...........putting everything together was a bitch, but I am pretty sure I saved a lot of $$$ by doing it myself.......so far the car is running perfect.........

i'm about to do the same, had the car on the rack today checking it out. I plan to change the water pump too.

Aftermarket prices came to a little over $125 for both drive belts, crank seal, cam seal, VC gasket and the water pump. I am checking on Mazda parts in the morn, atleast for the water pump and Tbelt.
