I replaced the oil pan seal last weekend as I was leaking some oil & after driving it and looking harder, it looks like I have a small leak in the crankshaft seal - not confirmed as its covered, just guessed.
Lifted the engine, removed the right hand engine mount, pulled off the camshaft cover and the tried to undo the crankshaft bolt. I managed to bend a bolt, crack the side of the wheel (crowbar was touching it & holding the bolt) and the dam nut didn't even budge. Used a long (2ft) extension torque bar & nothing apart from damaging the crakshaft wheel. I put it back togther & pretty hacked off. I fear I'll do more damage to the wheel, offbalance it - if I haven't already & wondering if its time for the garage. Any ideas if I was to give it a second go ? $20 in seals & no doubt the garage wants a couple of hundred.... 95 Celica GT, 145000 |

Two words: Impact Wrench.
 If you go to any major auto parts store, they usually rent them if you don't wanna fork over the clams to buy one. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
