Bit fiddly, NO, YES, YES!!
Bit fiddly as it is a bit shrouded by the front cover , it has a stop inside so can't go wrong really.
Just use a VITON seal when you do it, NOT a ford seal as they are useless.
If you go to a seal supplier tell them it is 42 - 56 - 7, this is the dimension of the seal, also the same as jackshaft.

Look in YELLOW pages for a seal supplier, just quote the number given, and tell them you want viton, if you have a problem PM me.

The only problem ive encounted whilst changing pinto/yb front mains seals is some times the crank cam belt pully can seize on solid...not fun
