Thanks' to all, Lot more of a undertaking the I thought. I was hoping maybe some belts and go in through the wheel well to pull the balancer. I had pulled and sealed the oil pan, thinking that was where the leak was coming from, and it was leaking up front. Now I am sure it's the front main. I also broke the back of the pan, because I missed a very well hidden bolt back by the fly wheel. I looked again and again, and still missed it.Thank goodness for my tig welder: Larry

That's basically what it takes; it's not so bad. Battery tray, wheel well liner, accessory belts, timing covers, loosen timing belt, pull the crank pulley, and you're in.

I replaced the shophoenixproject's content onto my site:

The procedure isn't really that bad. The worst part can be taking off the crank pulley, due to the difficulty it can give you taking the bolt off.
