Hello,

If your vehicle has the 3.3L V6 then all you will have to do is remove the crank pulley after removing the drive belt to get to the front crank seal.
If you have the 2.4L 4 cylinder then you will have to remove the timing cover and belt in order the replace the front crank seal.

I have attached the replacement procedure for both of the engines.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
