For changing the WP pulley, go to Rick Zotz's site: http://www.zotz.com

For replacing the front main seal....  piece o' cake Wayne.

The hardest part is getting the old pulley off, but a I use a gear puller
for that (I like them better than pulley pullers).  After pulling the main
pulley part way, I usually have to back the bolt out a bit more to get it
all the way off.

I use a *small* screwdriver to pry out the old seal.  **BE CAREFUL NOT TO
SCRATCH THE SEALING SURFACE**  You could use a pick or make some sort of
hook device to do this.

When installing the new seal, I coat the both sealing surfaces with oil to
lubricate it going in.  You have to get it started pretty square and just
press in.  I usually use a small piece of wood as a drift to set it flush
with the front cover.

Piece o' cake.  Just don't scratch the sealing surface.
