Front Crankshaft Oil Seal

[PSG]

How much work is involved in replacing the front seal with the engine in the car? Other than the pulley bolt, it looks like belts and the cooling fan coming off, then prying out the seal and putting in the new one, which could be difficult I think because there does't seem to be much room to tap it in , keep it square etc. Am I missing anything? any hints?

vibration damper/harmonic balancer, nut and hub.

You need a heavy-duty tool like this

to secure the crankshaft so that you can break the nut loose along with 3/4" drive breaker bar and cheater pipe, and 6 pt impact socket. I would probably remove the radiator just to avoid nicking/gouging its thin vanes...

You need a gear puller to get the hub off and you will have to work from underneath the car for easier access than from the top.
