Cam and Crank seal replacement ???

Any ideas how to get the bolt and pulley's off? Our racer is leaking. The plan was to borrow the subaru wrench from my mechanic today but he called in sick so I couldn't get it. Would love to get it done tomorrow and ready for a drag baseline, weight and another winner's circle autoxing next weekend.

strap wrench? socket on a 1/2 inch drive wrench with a "pipe" extension?

Ben,
3:23 am?? that new addition keeping you up?
seems to me you could rig up a "lock" of sorts that you tie into the flywheel that would keep everything from moving...an alternative would be to pull the front covers and see if you can't do the same thing, but with the cams (I know there are little brackets out there for Hondas, Nissans, etc that do this)
-Bill

I had a helper put a pry bar on the teeth of the flexplate and held it in position while using a breaker bar with "pipe" extension.

Was planning to get up at 4am to go pick up the new Rabbit but Evangeline got me up about 3 in need of a snack.

I think we'll wait til I can borrow the right tool. Don't wanna risk not being able to run next week.

Ben,
Ah, the joys of fatherhood!
