I was wondering how to hold the crank from turning when loosening/tightening the bolt. This video is a bit silly (not in a comedy sense) but it actually did answer my question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRA5oWPN0Hc

Just need to get that tool.

Oof, OEM is steep at $343. https://www.mercedesbenzpartsshop.com/o ... 2720300803

Corteco for $254: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/merced ... 2730300303

Rockauto has two options and they are both under $100.

I think I would spring for Corteco or OEM.

I don't think the seal is leaking....do I disturb it? I guess replacing the pulley will disturb it...

Geez, looks like the front seal was used for all of time.
