Step 6. Remove the oil pump gear houseing and pull BOTH the inner and outter housing off of the engine case

Step 7. run a screw into the seal and using a claw hammer pry the old seal out.

Step 8. put the new seal in (put some oil on the part of the seal where it slides on the crank shaft to keep it from catching and tearing).

Step 9. Reinstall everything the way it came off.

Hope this helps

Do you have any pictures from fan side. Found a link on one of the threads on here put it seems to be broken. Thanks for all your help. Is there anything else that I should be looking for or possibly replacing while this is taken apart. Also the fan side doesn't seem to be the problem but is it a good idea to just get it out of the way and replace it or should it not matter. I ordered the seal anyway because I figured it would be a good idea to see how bad it was under there. I'm I just wasting time or is this a good idea?

It is best to replace both seals at the same time. These seals get old, harden and wear with age. If one has failed, the other one can't be far behind. Check the bearings for wear, damage and looseness while you have the seals out.
