Front oil seal (near the toothed drive belt)
1. Remove the crankshaft sprocket as described in Chapter 8.
2. Carefully punch or drill two small holes in the seal. Insert self-tapping screws into the holes and pull the seal out with pliers. Alternatively, gently press the seal out.
Caution: Be especially careful not to damage the oil pump.
3. Clean the seal housing and use emery cloth to remove any burrs or rough spots that could damage the new seal during installation.
4. Lubricate the sealing lips of the new oil seal with clean engine oil and apply it to the end of the shaft. Push the oil seal into position until it is flush with the housing. If necessary, use a suitable tubular drift (it should rest only on the hard outer edge of the gland). Work very carefully to avoid damaging the lips of the seal and make sure the lips are facing inward.
5. Wash off all traces of oil, then install the crankshaft sprocket as described in Chapter 8.
