crankshaft front oilseal

I plan to replace the front crankshaft oilseal when doing my cambelt. Has anyone here done it on this diesel engine? I'm hoping there are no unexpected issues removing the old one. Is it a conventional single lipped seal with room to get a pulling tool between it & the shaft? The manual shows it being removed with a hook tool apparently via a hole drilled in the case of the seal. All/any advise welcome.

Hi littletriple, not done this on this engine.

Haynes manual suggest's punching/drilling two small holes in the outer metal case.
Then screwing in a couple of small self tapping screws so you can pull out.

Take care not to damage the crankshaft.

Thanks JGH99, so both manuals suggest this method. One with the LR tool & the other using screws.

Does the Haynes say the keys in the shaft have to come out?

Is there a second seal behind? I seem to remember seeing something like that... remove the plate holding the (outer?) seal & there is another behind it, but can't find anything on that now. Confused

Going to take it really carefully.


cheers,
Martin.

My dealer changed this seal under extended warranty. Hardest job I believe is undoing the crank pulley bolt. Must fit the starter ring lock in place & have a really long breaker bar or impact driver.

Never done this job but thought this might help you get your head around the components

Only one seal looking at the diagram and only one mentioned in manual.

Suggests you remove the key but it looks like it would come of over the key as it seals against a larger diameter section of the shaft.
