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

Useful data point: you can get to the front of the engine with the drivetrain still installed. You can even get the fan housing off, too.
I tried it this afternoon when I realized I had botched up the CPS toothed gear install during my crankshaft repair. I was able to remove the front lower sheet metal and gain access to remove the fan and flip the toothed gear around. That process was certainly easier and faster than re-removing the drivetrain. It's a bit of a PITA especially if you have nice surround seals, but I made it work. I took off the driver's side shortie piece down first, then leveraged around the longer bit upward to get it off. BTW, removing that shortie bit will be on my standard checklist for R&R the alternator. It makes things a TON easier. - GA |
