Front Seal

Can the front crankshaft seal be replaced with out removing the
timing chain cover? Has anyone done it and is it just a matter of removing the crankshaft pully and harmonic damper?

Ede is right... just take off the balancer and pulley... then pop out the old seal and press in a new one.

Grease the outer part of the damper hub (the side that will come in contact with the seal) before final assembly.
