Hi mate,just a quickie, front crank seal-does it prise out after removing lower belt pulley?

The front pulley ( ancillary belts ) and the sprocket (cambelt) need removing, the later can be a real ball ache to remove if it has not been off before.

 

If it will not come off drill the front face close to the keyway and it will then split with a hammer and chisel, of course buy a new one before this!

 

The seal is very similar in shape and size to the cam end seals and is removed in the same way, take a small sharp screwdriver and ease it out making sure not to mark the crank, lever between the outer edge of the seal and the oil pump casing, when reinstalling the new one spray WD40 or similiar over the crank etc and slide it in to place, use a flat edge over it and tap in equally all round

 

Hope that helps

No to the sprocket, will check for the seal and update you.
