Centurion Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi all My jeep has developed a leak from the oil seal behind the bottom pulley. Does the pulley take much removing ( having seen Jacks GMC one disintegrate). Can I get it off without removing the radiator and having got to the oil seal is it worth removing the timing cover and replacing that gasket as well. Is there anything else I need to know or replace. regards Centurion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Centurion, you're going to have to remove the timing cover anyway to replace the seal . So yes replace the cover seal as well. Pulling the pulley is a straight forward procedure once the starter dog/retaining nut is removed. This nut can sometimes be a little difficult, but if you're feeling brave and have a large enough shifting spanner it can done simply by wedging the shifter once attached to the dog, and touching the starter motor off. DO NOT CRANK IT OVER !! You need just enough force to loosen the nut, then do the rest by hand. The radiator has to be removed for all of this work. Good luck.
