Howdy Gents,
I'm about to attempt to seal an oil leak at the crankshaft seal in my 1500 Midget '77. Has anyone here ever done this? If so, got any tips,shortcuts or warnings to pass along? The Haynes book suggests jacking up the motor to gain clearance for the crank pulley removal,to me by eye this doesn't appear to be necessary.(Icould be wrong though)Also does anyone know the size or the bolt on the crank as I have to procure a socket,none of mine are big enough I know that.
Any help is much apprciated
Joe
