is it possible to replace seal without disassembling engine.
Two years ago I changed my seal. After removing prop I raised tail onto a sawhorse. I took a 2x4 and bolted it to the prop flange and the other end contacted the floor. After pulling the big cotter key out I was then able to break the big retaining bolt loose and just tapped the hub off the crank with a plastic malletYou have to pull the hub off to do that and yes it can be done without disturbing the engine. You'll need a puller and probably a little heat.
Sounds as though he already tried that...without success.And the million of Beetles had the crankcase vented to the oil bath air cleaner for the low pressure . I did the same on my engine and stopped any oil leak around the prop hub.
Aluminum tube to the blue hose to the intake in front of the Zenith carb.
