Unhappy No manual

Can't upload manual, it's too big even when zipped. It's 119MB full and 95.8 zipped.

If you don't have a seal puller, one way to get the old seal out is to carefully punch a couple of holes in it, opposite to each other, and then screw sheet metal screws in, that gives you something to pull on

Wow, anyone done this themselves? Mine is leaking in the same spot: out of the weep on the bottom of the timing cover. Looks like the main seal around the crank pulley. Mine has 37,000 miles on it! I also have what sounds like a noisey manifold gasket. Thinking about living with these problems because I'd rather be fixing a hemi than a 4.7. Maybe I can use this motor for a few more years and swap it. If the seal is easy I will replace it. How much is the tool?
