Replace crankshaft seal

Good evening.

The bolt is very tight. If you have an air gun, that will release the bolt. Otherwise, you need the tool I attached in the photo.

Once you remove the bolt, the balancer should just slide off. When you reattach it, the torque spec is listed in the other picture I attached.

After two days of trying to figure it out, you sent exactly what I needed. That is so cool, Thank you so much!

You are welcome. Glad to help.

Feel free to ask any follow-up questions.

Roy

How do I take the pulley assembly off to get to the lower crankseal cover?

Did you remove the center bolt from the pulley?

If you did, it should just slide off. Uou may need a hammer to hit the back of the pulley to help it off.

Roy

Maybe I did not explain it right. It is the whole assembly I need to take off. Here is a picture.

Here is the picture:

Cannot see down to the balancer. Can you take a better picture?

Roy

The balancer has been removed. Need to know how to take off all that you can see in picture - everything underneath where the thermostat goes. The metal piece that holds all the pulleys on.

Yes, the timing belt, cover and accessories need to be removed. Here are diagrams and a guide to help you do the job:
