NEEDS STICKY! 1995 LT1 Front seal replacement WITHOUT engine removal
Okay, so I discovered my front main seal is leaking last night. I watched some tutorials online yada yada and it seems that on the lt1 it can be removed without pulling the timing cover as they have relocated the installation point of the seal from behind the cover to the front. Okay, no problem, until you actually LOOK and see that on the vettes there about 2 inches of room if that in front of the crankshaft pulley, and definitely no room for a puller to get in there. NOW. I DID stumble upon an article from 2003 here about this where they used a special puller. This is the link http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-t...g-the-pan.html HOWEVER the link to the site is dead. I was heading from southern california to seattle washington and now am stuck mid state cali in Fresno. I figure itd be easy from the bottom until I realized the area is totally boxed in there. what do I do!? -Colt

I believe I read somewhere about raising the engine up with a jack and a block of wood under the pan. This is after unbolting the motor mounts and c beam from the trans. With the engine raised there should be enough room to remove the hub.
I probably will be changing the cam but not until this summer so I won't know until then how exactly I will be doing it.
