You have to take off the pulley.

The seal is behind the pulley. No way to put it on with it in the car. If the car has E-fans, it can be done with the motor in the car, never done it on a car with clutch fan, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard.

i have E fans so now i have to break that big ass nut lose to take it off and i have no easy way to stop the motor from turning while i try and break it loose. thanks for the help

Front main seal if you have efans or a shit ton of clearance:
-turn motor to top dead center
-pull e-brake, put car in 4th or 5th. Now the engine won't turn
-remove all your belts
-remove 27mm crank bolt
-pray to God that your pulley remover doesn't hit your radiator
-remove pulley
-pry out old seal with a screwdriver
-install new seal with a drift, large socket, and/or very carefully
-reinstall pulley making sure that woodruff key is still in the crank and the slot is aligned
-tightening the bolt presses the pulley. Final torque of 100ft-lbs or so.

Finally wired up the cluster illumination for the gauges. Used Deutsch bag DTM connectors. Found out that one of four rear running lights was working (aka coupe tail light syndrome). Also found that one socket had been "repaired". Swapped a spare light assembly in, but still need 1 bulb. Degreased a little more under the car. Starred at the places where S13 vert reinforcing panels go....

If anyone is parting out a Vert and will let me cut it up with a sawzall, please PM me!

paul kersey · 10-12-2008, 11:38 PM

theres a few verts in lkq st pete.
we could rent a generator and cut stuff up.

longfellow2 · 10-12-2008, 11:40 PM

Battery powered sawz-all. I bet you could sneak one in LKQ.

paul kersey · 10-12-2008, 11:54 PM

Been in an LKQ with a sawzall...they don't care. People have walked out of there with a quartered car before.

Crav3n Mo0r3he4d · 10-13-2008, 11:41 AM

bought a new battery, then had to roll start that bitch to get it home cause the damn starter or ignition switch went bad.

**Epstein** · 10-13-2008, 12:08 PM

How long do those things last? I need basically the entire floor pan from firewall to rear subframe. And considering that it has no roof, it probably won't stay on those stands very long.

I think I'll just wait until strips one to a shell first.
