How do I remove my crank hub?

I wanna remove it to take the timing cover off to change all those seals.
Btw, what do i need to do, just loosen a few oil pan bolts to get that cover off? Thanks.

Lots of people use stick 1/4 drive extension into the hole of the crank hub and push off of that. As for oil pan i would take almost all the bolts off on the pan. If you don't drop the pan enough and rip the oil pan gasket you'll have a lot more work on your hands.

Okay that sounds good. Yea I've been a little hesitant to remove the whole cover because of the oil pan leaking later. But then I just got fet up and decided I have to do it, I think some of the seals are leaking on the opti. So if I drop it enough, and it doesn't rip the gasket, it should be fine later eh? I thought I might have a problem if I even disturb the gasket.

As long as you don't rip it you should be fine. I suggest putting some silicone where the timing cover meets the block, right where the oil pan gasket runs. I would try to replace the seals with the cover on the motor if thats all thats leaking.
