Hi,
Start with removing serpentine fan belt,Fan and fan shroud, remove crank bolt with impact gun, go and rent a Harmonic balancer puller,Cover seal is behind this,go buy a seal removal tool made by KD tool and pry the seal out of cover, or a screw driver to pry on the outside lip,be careful not to damage timing cover and replace double lip seal by tapping lightly with brass hammer, make sure you put oil on seal where balancer goes all of these tools can be rented this will get you started,Good Luck!!!

Get a new boyfriend that knows how to do it or get a rich boyfriend who can afford a mechanic.
