rear main oilseal

hi guys

oils been pishing out my 2.5 na rear crank seal for years an i can live with that (good for the chassis) but its finaly got onto the clutch an that,s despite drilling a big hole in the flywheel housing several years ago.

has anyone done one with the engine in situ? book says engine out but me thinks not but i have been wrong before (often) and please don't tell me to rip it out an put in a TDI! 67hp is just fine for me.

cheers

tis quicker to tac tit engine oot rather than fluck about with the g/box n prop shafts 'n' ****

ta sid
i'm sure it's quicker and makes more sense mate but i'm out in the sticks with no shed or liftin' gear. my old girl,s got a 2" lift so if i go for doing it the wrong way round i can do it at home without even jacking it up an it don't even matter if it rains! + if i take the lump out i just know i'll want to put a TDI in! (which is what i secretly yearn for) but thats a couple of years away in the grand plan. so what do ya think is it poss?
