1982 xc430 replacing crank seals without splitting cases?

[DJPresto]

Can I replace the R/H crank seal behind the stator without splitting the cases? Cheers

if its in the little alloy holder held on by 4 screws...yes. $1 says the other side is screwed check out HVA factory for a PDF manual free download.

Yes you can change the ignition side seal easily (without splitting the cases).

I have also changed the left side crank seal on a 390 motor before , without splitting the cases . The left main bearing was outside the seal , so I had to break out the cage of the bearing and then pull it out with a long , narrow 2 jawed puller in between the ball bearings . I then pulled the left crank seal out and replaced it with a new seal and new bearing .
