Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

I think it's hateful enough of a job trying to do it in the car (you have to remove studs to get the cooler clear) that you may find it worthwhile to remove the drivertain first.
However, when I was removing my drivertain yesterday to get to something behind the fan housing, I looked at it closely and I think that if you remove the sheet metal at the front of the engine, you may have enough space to remove the fan, alternator, and fan housing. From there it's a lot easier work (and would probably make an alternator swap a lot easier, too).. I've never done it in the car, so "caveat emptor". - GA |
