Not that I can see.

Front seal.
Assuming the same as a V6, once the crank pulley is off the front, the seal sits on a removable sleeve. Remove that & it'll give you room to flick the front crank seal out of the front cover. It'll need the cam/crank timing back up again.

Rear seal
Drop gear box, remove fly wheel or pay someone else ..... like I did  ;)

hi chaps

had new head gasket cam belt thermostat fitted few weeks ago head skimmed no expense spared . Only to learn that my crankshaft pulley seal has gone so cam belt of again.

but now I had  to take it back to the garage as my once leaking head water only is now leaking oil and water not good they are doing it again free of charge of course and doing my crankshaft seal for free.

maybe a result.

but I cant help wondering how they could of f***** it up any ideas short of them charging to have my head skimmed but not bothering yet still charging me?  :(
