Are you using any magic technique for removing the pulley apart from brute force, and how are you locking the crankshaft?

  crank sensor out , t.d.c insert locking pin (may have to turn crank slightly so the pin goes right in with no play on the crankshaft) advise to use new bolt. i have the locking gear for this engine.  :y

You're going to use the timing locking pin to loosen the crank nut :o  That's unlikely to end well......

having thought i explained that i am locking the crank with a crank locking pin . a 24mm socket on the bolt, breaker bar attached ( may need to slip a scaffold pole over the breaker bar ) having done 3 in the past i am sure i will manage. A new pulley was only put on by myself last summer. at that time the seal didnt appear to have a leak

   the reason i really was wanting the proper fitting Drift is that spring on the inside edge of the actual seal are easily dislodged & once knocked into situ if the spring is dislodged one would be none the wiser & in a year or so the seal would start to leak again. the proper tool would alleviate that. but still cannot find one

Is the seal location a removable piece?
