I was reading through the '58 shop manual to see about installing a
new front and rear main seal in a '59 235. The motor is out on the engine
stand right now and is easy to get at so this seemed a good time to do it.
The manual says that only the lower half of the rear main seal can be
replaced without removing the crank.
Is this really so? The local auto parts house supplied a nice moulded
set that I had rather thought I could sneak around the crank somehow. How
about the front seal? Can it be replaced without pulling the timing cover?
