Changed the oil pump seal today on the 80
What a mongrel job it turned out to be
had to easy out 5 of the 7 philips head screws out
and the harmonic balancer bolt would not undo with a power bar and freeze and release spray Even bumping with starter did not make it loose
so I had to make a tool to hold the balancer still and then hang of a 10 foot bar to crack it
310 foot pounds my arse >:D
Hi Brett
I guess you know now that the harmonic balancer bolt was not going to come loose itself. I know what you mean about mongrel jobs, I am still battling all the planets trying to get the bearings out of my left rear assembly.

Mate if your going to use the grinder and cold chisel method make shore you wear safety glasses
I have had shards come of the chisel and bearings stick into my arm
not fun ???
Whats the Problem? r
no problem now no more oil leak
If any one wants to borrow my home made harmonic balancer holder the more than welcome
