My question is, how's the best way and is thete a "bushing" that has to be replaced also? Where would I pick up these parts? Thanks Oncemore, Happy Holadays to all, and may Santa bring us all more truck parts! Paul

Removing the timing cover also involves removing the front crankshaft pulley (damper) and the oil pan. If the leak is only from the crankshaft seal, it is possible to change it without removing the timing cover.
Bushing: Sometimes there is a groove worn in the pulley shaft that causes even a new seal to leak. There is a thin sleeve that you can buy, that slips over the outside of the pulley shaft to cover up the groove and provide a good surface for the seal to ride on. | | |

The one I just looked at in our warehouse was made by CR services. On the box it says they make them for shafts up to 8 inches. The ones I've used have worked fine but, I've only used the ones on 2 1/2' or larger shafts. Most come with a flange on them for installation which can be pealed off after you get it where it needs to be. Dave
