Can anyone please give me the procedure for changing the front oil seal. Specifiacally what I need to know is do you have to take the timing cover off to replace the seal or can it be done be removing the balancer. Also, someone said something about lowering the oil pan. How far does it need to be moved in order to have clearance to change the seal. I have to get this seal fixed in order for the car to be driveable again. I have access to an engine hoist to support the engine in the event that the k-frame needs to be lowered. I thought I'd tackle this over the 3 day weekend but I dont wanna get in over my head. Please let me know if you have done this repair and if there is anything in particular I need to loo for or be cautious of.
