Anyone have a walkthru of how to go about swapping the front crank seal? Is it true you have to remove the timing belt

No clue bro but I've got a digital copy of the factory service manual I use constantly.

yes it is true you have to remove the Timing belt...might as well replace timing belt/water pump, cam seals, and tensioner and idler while you in there.

this will get you started off.

To break the crank pulley bolt loose, Place a socket/wrench on the bolt, use a breaker bar on the socket. Place the breaker bar on the floor or in a snug spot where it won't spin. Go in the car, turn the key for a milisecond where the starter turns the engine and snaps the bolt loose. DO NOT HOLD THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION OR THE SOCKETWRENCH/BREAKER BAR WILL TURN YOUR ENGINE BAY INTO SWISS CHEESE.
