Foemint Front Crankshaft Seal Installer KM-960/EN-960 for 2011-2013 Chevy Cruze Volt Aveo Sonic — Hard-Plastic OEM-Style Seal Driv

Foemint KM-960 / EN-960 front crankshaft seal installer is a hard-plastic tool designed to seat front crankshaft seals accurately on select 2011–2013 Chevy engines.

This installer reproduces the fit and function of OEM seal drivers so you can press new front crankshaft seals squarely and without damage. It fits applications listed for KM-960, EN-960 and J-35119 tools, and is intended for technicians and experienced DIYers replacing front crankshaft seals on compatible Chevy Cruze, Volt, Aveo and Sonic models. The molding and dimensions focus on even pressure distribution to avoid seal distortion while making installation quicker and more consistent than ad-hoc methods.

Which Chevy models and years does this tool fit?

The Foemint installer is built to work with specific GM front crankshaft seal procedures. It is compatible with 2011–2012 Chevrolet Cruze and Volt front crankshaft seals, and with 2012 Chevrolet Aveo and 2012–2013 Chevrolet Sonic applications. Always verify the part numbers and service manual for your engine before starting the job.

• Compatible model years: 2011–2013 (as specified)
• Fits tools/standards: KM-960, EN-960, J-35119
• Designed for front crankshaft seal seating only
• Check OEM dimensions against your existing seal and housing

How does this installer protect the new seal during installation?

The installer’s hard plastic face spreads installation force evenly across the seal lip and body, reducing the chance of cocking or tearing the seal. Its profile matches OEM seating geometry to minimize side-loading and to get the seal to the correct depth reliably. Using a dedicated installer prevents deformation that can cause leaks later on.

• Even pressure distribution prevents seal distortion
• Profile mimics OEM seating to reach correct depth
• Hard plastic resists marring the seal surface
• Reduces need for hammering on improvised tools

What materials and package contents should I expect?

This product is made from a durable hard plastic engineered to withstand repeated use in a workshop setting while protecting the seal. The package contains one front crankshaft seal installer piece ready for use; no additional hardware is included. It’s a single-purpose driver intended to pair with your press or mallet and the proper service procedure.

• Material: hard plastic for durability and non-marring contact
• Package: 1 piece front crankshaft seal installer
• Compatible with KM-960, EN-960 and J-35119 tools

Do I need special tools or skills to use it safely?

Basic mechanical skill and standard shop tools are sufficient: a shop press or controlled hand mallet and appropriate adapters are commonly used. Follow the vehicle service manual for disassembly, torque specs and seal seating depth. If you’re unfamiliar with crankshaft seals or engine front covers, consider professional installation to avoid internal engine damage.

• Recommended: shop press or controlled mallet and adapters
