You're best to change the crank seals and the 'hockey stick' seals at the same time.You need the box off to change the rear crank seal, you need the sump off to change the end cap hockey stick seals.  If you're planning on a lightened flywheel, I would strongly suggest you wait until then.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Standard clutch is all you want, trust me. As for the seals going, sometimes hockey stick ones go other times it's the main crank seal itself. Either way, get them changed along with a new flywheel and clutch and you'll love it. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
