Front and rear oil seals?

I need to replace my front and rear oil seals on my 1955 chevy 265 cu. Motor. How do I get that front pully off. Then what do I do on the rear seal?Front and rear oil seals?
pulley puller, drop or pull tyrannyFront and rear oil seals?
You will need a harmonic balancer puller for the front. Available at most parts stores. You will need to remove the front timing chain cover to change the seal, probably a good time to renew the chain and gears as well.. For the rear seal the oil pan will have to be dropped. the rear main bearing cap will have to come down. Its also possible you may have to losen the other four caps to remove the top half seal. Besure to retorque all cap properly. Unless your a good mechanic I suggest you spring for the money and have it done at a shop..
You need a lot more than just the seal.


Timing chain cover gasket.


Water pump. (since your need to remove it anyway)


Water pump gaskets.


Coolant.


Silicone sealant.


Timing chain and gears.


Oil filter.


Oil.


Locktite thread locker


Pulley puller


1/2'; air impact wrench


appropriate sockets.


Seal puller


Seal installer


AND most importantly a repair manual.









on the back seal you have to drop the oil pan then take the back main bearing cap off and there,s your seal.you can get to the front seal that way too.
