So I spent most the day cleaning and replacing every seal in the engine. Only ones left are the rear main (have to get the engine off the stand for that) and the front main.
Can the front main be replaced without splitting the case? If so, do I just need to remove that one bolt and pull the fan bracket off to get acess to it? Secondly, I flipped the motor on the stand and the disty was out. So my disty drive gear fell out and onto the floor. How can I get it back in correctly? **Hopes there is only one way it will go in.** Dan |

Yes, a cheap ass FLAPS puller will yank it off easy.
