Do you have to remove the oil pump to change the front crank seal?

Wild, it looks like your post didn't make it... will mine I wonder  ???

Well, mine made it.

mbmarkyb, did you remove the crank oil seal with the oil pump in place, or just the gear?

COOL!

I hope I'm that lucky.  Pulling that oil pump sounds like a major PITB.

i read it again and yeah i think some of my text was missing ,
oil pump isnt to bad , just have to find all the bolts the pully was the worst part as you cant clamp it off very easy as it breaks thats where the old nut gun cam into it

I think the manual shows a tool that actually sits against a flywheel tooth and makes the flywheel immobile.  I'm assuming they did that to make getting the bolt off easier.  I have an impact wrench, so hopefully, that'll do the trick.

The front seal.  But if you immobilize the flywheel, the crank (and the nut) can't move on you.
