Default Front crank oil seal

Is there any chance of me being able to change this without the pully pulling tool?

If not, where would i be able to aquire such a tool?

Thanks in advance.

Adam

I didn't feel confident, but yes i took the rad etc out to do the oil seal.. because theres not much space in the BMW's engine bay, the job couldn't be done with them in there.

If theres anyone on here who is experienced with that sort of thing, i'd be willing to pay to have it done?

I just don't want to mess up the timing or anything when taking pulleys off etc...
