I need to know how to replace a cam seal in my car listed above.
Do i need to remove the timing belt?
I ordered a cam seal and I think they gave me main front crank shaft seal instead. I have the part but am unsure if it is the right seal.

You do need to set the timing at TDC, check all alignment marks and use a paint pen to double up so you are sure all is correct. remove timing belt and cam shaft drive, pry out and replace seal, lube seal surface with engine oil so it is not running dry, replace cam gear and timing belt and re check all timing marks are still aligned before turning engine. Ring your supplier and double check the part number, cam and crank seals can be very similar is size so best to double check first.
