Hi folks

 

just changed the front crankcase oil seal on my 1972 MK1.  Trouble is the rear is leaking quite bad. ive been told its the rope type two piece seal.

Can this be changed with the engine in situ , Soon as i mentioned it was a MK1 a lot of people groaned and said " Oh Dear ". someone suggested that the sump had to come out and the crank partially lifted out.

 

If any of you folks could share some experiences changing the rear seal on a MK1 your help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best
