I am going to be replacing my crankshaft seal, camshaft seal, waterpump and timing belt and just need some pointers. Will I need any special pully removers? I noticed that for the crankshaft seal I will probably have to remove the oil pan is this correct? If there are any tips, suggestions, or helpful hints that you guys might be able to give me please do share. This looks like it will be a big pain in the butt so I'm not really looking forward to it. Thanks in advance guys.
you need a special puller to get teh crank sprocket off and replace the seal
Oil pan doesn't have to come off to replace crank seal. What your going to do is carefully pry out the old seals using a screwdriver and hammer. DON'T damage the housing or the crank/cam/int shaft seal surface. Wipe down the bore and surface with a rag and brake cleaner. Apply anerobic sealer to the outer seal surface, lube the lip with a light coat of oil. Now wigge the seal on and use a small screwdriver to gently lift the seal lip over the shaft lip. Drive the seal in with a socket and hammer and thats it.Originally Posted by QC DSM ESiT

Alright cool I was really hoping I wouldn't have to remove the oil pan. Where might I pick up one of those pullers to get the crank sprocket off?
Make it yourself. Or I can sell one to you for $20 + shipping.
you can't just pick up a crankshaft pully remover tool at like an autoparts store? Wouldn't that be the same as a hamonic balance puller? I know you get those at like Advanced Auto.
Don't know. Like I said, I can sell you one for $20 + $8 shipping.
No, won't work, there too big and the crank pulley is on there so tight.

Well now that I have everything tore apart I realise exactly what you guys are talking about with that crank sprocket. I have no idea how to get it off and get this thing running again by Tues. Anything I might be able to pick up to get that crank sprocket off?
