Hey Guys - I need to replace the front crank / main seal on my NX, and was
looking for some how-tos on the 'net.

Anyone know of web pages detailing the seal replacement, or UR pulley
installation?

Interesting note - the stupid thing didn't start leaking until I cleaned
the gunk off it.  During an in-car rod bearing replacement last Feb (with
about 135K on it) I used some aerosol solvent (brake cleaner) to hose the
gack of the engine after it was sealed up again.  There wasn't any leak
before, just a light oil film and dirt and road filth.  After cleaning, it
leaks enough to leave a small puddle after 8 or 10 hours.  Should have left
well enough alone I guess.
