I have got my car tore down to replace the water pump drive seal, my question is do i have to take the front cover off to get the seal out? Plus can i do the other 2 seals without pulling the cover off. What do i need to do? Thanks in advance.

You don't have to remove the cover. Use whatever means to remove the seals without damaging the cover.

 

You can buy or rent a seal puller which makes it a little easier.

 

Getting em out is the easy part
Get 2 WP seals [that one is hardest..]
Do a search.. [ there are a few helpful tips on installing the WP seal...]
Opti and crank seal aren't bad tho..

 

Yes, a puller can help, but it is harder to use when there are shafts in the middle and in the way. No way you will be able to use a puller on the WP seal. There is no room.

 

Well i got it out guys and i purchased the front cover kit from advance and i busted the first seal as you guys said i would. Any place where i can buy the individual seal? 15$ everytime i bust a seal is gonna suck. The black side goes in toward the motor correct? thanks again guys.
