Update By John - 05/21/2003 6:14:44 PM; IP 142.177.82.31 I checked my book and the pin is in the bearing cap. So, to remove the rope seal, I would suggest loosening all of the main bearing caps and lowering the crank as much as you can without removing the caps completely. The seal doesn't want to slide out, it will come out by prying it out of the groove. So with the crank dropped slightly, you can create the same effect by gripping the seal with needlenose vice-grips and pulling down away from the groove. You will probably have to remove the cam chain cover,, but perhaps you can lower the crank at an angle by loosening the caps in a progressive fashion, but I would remove the cover to keep it from being damaged. Besides, you should probably replace the front seal also.

This thread, so far...
