Crank shaft seal leaking..
So I've developed a pretty good oil leak. I rolled around underneath to see if I could spot it and I found oil coming from behind the HB. I just installed a new HB one year ago because the old one split apart. I'm sure it's the crank shaft seal. Bummer part is, after all the post's I read saying to " REPLACE IT WHILE YOUR DOWN THERE" I didn't 
.. Pulling the HB really isin't a problem but I hear the seal can be a real PITA. Gonna get me that seal puller tool and a box of beer and hope that makes it easier. Any tip's, trick's, pointers or beer suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Just pop the seal out with a screwdriver and pop the new one back in. Tapping it evenly with a hammer all the way around so it doesn't go in crooked. Took me 2 minuets wile I was changing my balancer.
