Front Seal

99 Ranger 3.0L

I have a leaky front seal. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to replace? How much do I have to pull off to get to it? Any help would be appreciated.

You're going to have to get to the front of the engine which I believe means removing the radiator fan assembly, at least. (The Haynes Manual says to remove the radiator, as well).

From there it entails removing the drivebelt, removing the crankshaft pulley, removing the vibration damper (you'll need a puller for this). After that you just carefully pry the seal out.
