Its easy to do,if you know how.I just did a UR crank pulley and front seal,Not to long ago.Took me around 1hour start to finish.You need a 27mm socket,a nice toruqe wrench,and a pulley puller.

this is how i did my front crank seal, remove radiator remove drive beltsremove crank pulleyremove front crank sealinstall in reverse order.it should take long, the hardest part is removing the crank pulley bolt if you don't have an impact gun.

you don't have to remove the radiator. my radiator has been moved rearwards an inch and i can still get the pully in and out with a puller, and have little clearance issues (the puller is a bit tight on space, but otherwise fine. this just saves you an obnoxious, and messy step)

you can forgo a pully puller if you use two prybars. but a lot of pullies still won't budge with that. Mine was stubborn and wouldn't be pried out, so we had to resort to the puller. My best advice is to leave the crank bolt in a few threads so when the pully pops off, it doesn't come flying at you.
