[alfa] Front Pulley Failure

[Gilbert Gagne <gil5941@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The front pulley on my 1985 2L Spider just broke and I had to tow it 
home, again. I removed the large nut and saw the rest of the pulley 
inside the front cover just out of reach. The front crankshaft seal was 
schredded too and will have to be replaced.

My questions are: Does the front cover have to be removed  to replace 
the seal? and if it does, does the cylinder head  and/or the oil pan 
have to be removed before removing the front cover? I was hoping not to 
have to pull the engine.

I have a spare engine and removed the crank pulley only to find that it 
has a longitudinal crack at the keyway. Now I have to find a front 
pulley, too.
