Yes very nice matey but non of these tell me what i wont to know, as i'd already done a search and came up with the same 3 posts :roll: :lol: .

Does the oil pump cover need to come off to replace this seal or is it just a matter of takeing the pulley off and renewing the old seal?.

short how too.......
remove the aircon and alternater belt
undo the big pulley nut 27mm i think
use proper puller or carefully using two screw driver behind the pulley and lever off
the seal should be visible remove and replace. lubricate the inner seal to aid easier fitment.
make sure it flush with housing
and refit the rest in reverse order

also worth checking that the rear edge of pulley is not grooved where the seal runs if it is either get a new one or set seal at different point
