Subject:Replace Crankshaft Seal by Removing Tranny?
From:James W Wagner
Date:Sat, 31 Mar 2001 10:54:09 -0500

Hi List,

Has anyone ever replaced the flywheel side crankshaft seal by removing
the transmission alone?  The flywheel I removed from another car
required a very long breaker bar and I am not sure I'd be able to fit
one
under the Vanagon (I will have to work in my gravel driveway).

Anyone ever done this?  How heavy is the transmission?  Is it possible
to manipulate while on my back under the car?

Thanks,
James Wagner
