Front crank seal. As roofy said the seal is cheap enough. However its getting the crankshaft damper off that is the fun part. You will need a decent breaker bar and torque wrench (for re assembly) other than that its pretty straigh forward from there.

can understand you wanting to do it your self looks easy ,is easy if you have the right tools
a big rattlegun might move it if not done properly you might damage the crank

Sorry didn't realise it was a question.






still need toque setting please help

... Well it's sounding a little bit more like a question now!

Are you able to download the manual from this site? It will have the torque settings in it.
Sorry, I can't be of more help until I get back on the laptop.
(maybe if you ask nicely someone else may have access to the info right now) lol
