How hard is it to change front engine seal by the crankshaft in a detroit 60 series engine?

if yo can get to the front of the motor easily than not too hardHow hard is it to change front engine seal by the crankshaft in a detroit 60 series engine?It isn't all that big an issue, if you have the necessary tools. Depending on the vehicle, you may need to remove the radiator and A/C condenser. You may also need a special puller/installer for the accessory drive (front balancer), and you should check the nose of the crankshaft for wear. If there is any appreciable wear or scoring, install a %26quot;Speedy-Sleeve%26quot; along with the new seal.How hard is it to change front engine seal by the crankshaft in a detroit 60 series engine?It can be done without removing all that stuff have done very many of them. Once you get the old seal and SLEEVE off (I recommend to have a seal installer) you can install the new seal and sleeve. It is not a 5 minute job but it isnt worth pullin all that off the front niether.
