well after doing a stupid mistake while downshifting my flywheel came loose all bolts were hand tight, after closer inspection the main bearing was leaking oil very little amount though, now my question is, can you remove the main bearing WITH OUT removing the crank?
if y our gonna reply check search bar then dont bother replying, the search never works for me and im not reading thru everything that comes up with the key words when i could simply ask.
thanks

IIRC you should be able to... It would be a major pita to do with the motor in the car tho there is no room

you must remove the sub-frame, transmission, clutch/flywheel. you can then pry out the rear seal with a flathead. dont scratch the crank or your in deep then. im not sure if there is a service plate that you remove with the real seal still inside.

and no..you dont have to remove the crank
