Hi there,

I'm finally in a position to replace the timing belt on my 1984 Estate with the B23 engine and just wanted a couple of pointers regarding oil seal replacement. I've got quite a few other bibs and bobs to replace whilst the old girl is off the road (fan belts hoses etc) and thought it was timely to replace the front oil seals as there's quite a bit of oil leaking around the timing belt cover. I live in Oz so tracking down the correct seals is taking a while to accomplish. I've been boning up on Mike Brace's excellent how-to on replacing the belt but there is scant info knocking around on how to do the seals. I guess what I'm after is any insight into pitfalls, sequence of work etc...

thanks!
