If you can’t obtain one of these tools, remove the flywheel/drive plate inspection cover and wedge a screwdriver into the starter ring gear teeth.
6. Slide the pulley off the crankshaft.
7. Use a seal puller to remove the crank shaft front oil seal. A screwdriver may be used instead, if the tip is wrapped with tape to avoid scratching the crankshaft.
