Front seals: gonna do 'em when it gets warm 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Cabbie on  Wed Feb 27 11:38 CST 2008 [RELATED]

As part of servicing the front of the engine (new water pump, timing belt, tensioner, belts, seals), I'm going to attempt to replace the front engine seals for the first time on my '93 wagon.

How do I pull these seals out and re-install without scraping the shafts and how do I ensure no leaks when everything is put back together? Is it a hard thing to do? Right now, the car doesn't leak a drop. Approaching 200k miles this month. I want to do the job right. Any suggestions?

p.s. I've done the timing belt before on my '89, but never done the seals on that one either. So, I'm fairly experienced with the front engine job...just never pulled seals before and don't want to screw it up.

Thanks,
Cabbie
