			v8 crankshaft oil seal
		
 
			
				
					8) ok, its finally got to be done.
 the front crankshaft seal on my 95 v8 disco is now causing too many puddles of oil on the floor [and anywhere else i stop] to ignore it anymore.
 i have read the workshop manual which just says to remove the pulley.
 has anyone done this?
 does it just fall off or do we need a puller?
 then it'll get a clean up to remove a bit more of that nth. straddie sand wot is stuck on with oil!
 any help appreciated.

					8) ok it's done, all it needed was to undo the big bolt [and a few other things] and the harmonic balancer just slid off.
 all in all a pretty easy thing to do.

					who said landies were a nightmare to work on, obviously they possess vehicles with less pedigree.............and character...............and don't use off road...............and have them serviced and repaired by someone else.............and have more money.....................and less problems......................................

					Yep, I did replaced front disc pads on the disco yesterday, 20min total inc jacking, wheel off and back on. Easiest pads on any car I've owned. Pads held in by a pin and split pin, Caliper easy to push in by fingure pressure to sat allowing pad fitment. After all if off road and you neesd to do a fix ya don't want to be mucking around. 
 how about the  front indicator lenses on a Disco, held on by a sring retainer, just unclip and replace the bulb, no screw drivers needed. And to replace a head light bulb, the headlight unit clips out with a gentle pull.
 Simplicity is always works best, don't over engineer things.
