How hard is it to change the crankshaft oil seal?

My 1994 Geo Metro XFi crankshaft seal is leaking pretty bad. Seems to have gotten worse after I changed all the belts. I lost a quart of oil on an 800 mile trip.How hard is it to change the crankshaft oil seal?
No it is pretty simple to do go thru obviously pass side frt wheel house no puller needed for that crank pulley. but will need seal remover and installer unless you no how to do it.without any more help email kmp1171@att.netHow hard is it to change the crankshaft oil seal?
There is quite a bit of parts that you have to take off/apart. Like removal of all belts, timing belt cover and timing belt. You have to make sure the timing belt is timed right. Best thing to do is get a repair manual at your local autoparts store and follow the directions on how to replace the oil seal. If you do the job yourself always double check everything and don't rush, take your time. Good Luck!
1to 10 its a 5 because you dont need o mess with the timing belt





take harmonic balancer off, engine mount and its right there onthe timing houseing cover
