remove harmonic balancer, remove old seal, new seal in. easy

Just remember to lube the lips of the seal before installing

yes. also tap the new seal in slowly and evenly.

That's the important bit, keeping it even. I'm doing the timing seal on my kids diesel rodeo, but the case is on the bench while I put new timing gears in, kids what would we do without them

Much easier on a bench without the crankshaft poking through, hahahaha. A bit of wood is usually good for not damaging the seal while you tap it in with a hammer. Just go slowly around the edge until it is all the way in...

Just noticed mines leaking pretty bad.is it a nissan job for the parts or somone else?

For my sons rodeo it was about $65 at holden or $25 for a high temp seal from the local bearing supplies.
