Crankshaft Front Oil Seal

[DCDisco]

About to replace a leaking front oil seal. Looking on Rave CD, suggest the use of:

LRT-12-088
LRT-12-089

What are these and is there anything else I can use? The first one looks like a puller and the second one a ring to seat the seal. Thanks.

Search the threads since there was quite a lenghty discussion on this topic.
Tools, heck I used a srewdriver to remove the seal and the HB/Pulley slide right off the shaft without too much effort.
Once you get it off, HB/Pulley, I bet you will notice a nice groove cut into the surface from the old seal. Several alternatives are mentioned as opposed to buying a new HB/Pulley assembly... quite costly BTW.

I also used a screwdriver to remove the old seal. I used a deep well socket and hammer to tap it back in.

I had planned to use a screwdriver, but then the LRT tool came up so I thought I would give it a quick ask. 1 leak down 50 to go
