Hi all,
I think the front crankshaft seal is leaking ,
the crank bolt looks like it is going to be a problem to undo ,has anyone have any experience do doing this job.
Thanks Rob Gill

I believe I used an impact wrench.
Alternative would be a breaker bar.

Thanks , it looks it is going to be a bit of a fight

Hi remove belts get a big socket and long bar wedge it against floor or a strong part of frame flick engine over on key starter will crack bolt loose hey presto the bolt will unscrew remove pulley pull out sleeve that seal runs on flick out seal push new one in with a bit of sealer on outside slide sleeve back in with grease round it refit pulley n belts job done
Regards

I must admit that method has crossed my mind!
