i have taken off the timing covers, belt, etc.. i was able to remove the oil drive gasket with ease, but this front oil seal isn't coming out, i tried using a screw into the gasket and pulling it with a pair of pliers, but the screw just makes the hole bigger and the gasket doesnt budge. i can see that there is the toyota fipg around the oil seal and i was wondering how i can get this seal out? it just wont budge, the manual has 2 options for removing this, either witha special tool or remove the timing case... how hard is it to remove the timing case.. can it be done wtih the engine on the car? also any help would be appreciated, is there anything that i could put around the seal so as to "deteriorate" the seal? such as a gasket remover or something similar? as i am assuming the toyota fipg is the culprit for this being so damn hard to remove.
