Subject: Re: Front crank oil seal
Presume by counter balance weight you refer to the vibration damper. I have an LG6...didn't need to remove front crossmember on that to do this job, but certainly radiator needed to be out of the way.
Sounds like Lagonda were on a learning curve...you should get a V12 for this sort of fun...every "minor" job entails doing something major first...best I've discovered so far is bolts for master cylinder put in so that you need to remove torsion bar first... inserted the other way. you'd just undo the nuts & withdraw the bolts..job done. But the way they are, you have to remove the torsion bar...that "just" means removing bumper, headlamps & bar, front apron, radiator, front wing...then you can start removing the torsion bar. For some reason, I made up a tool to clean the master cylinder barrel in situ...
