If the problem is confined to wear on the crank pulley seal surface, yes, you can pull this without having to remove the pan and crank - if you can get the big bolt on the front of the pulley off. This can be - challenging. The new pulley will slide right in. If the seal is bad, you may have more work to do. It's a "rope" seal, in two halves, that need to be fitted and trimmed in place. Some folks have reported success in removing the upper half and sneaking in the new seal without removing the crank. I'm not that good, myself. But is is a fact that, with the pulley removed, you do have some working room and if you really, really don't want to drop the crank, you may be happier installing the seal half this way. If I ever have to try and do this again, I think I will make a curved tool of some sort that reaches in there to press the seal in place. HTH llater, llamas
