change the front main seal? Looking at some pictures online, wont the entire pulley come off if I just take out the Crankshaft Bolt??

Default It would probably be more trouble than it's worth. Dealing with the TB, etc would be a pain.
Just pull the bolts. It's a piece of cake.

Yes, those hold it on, not the bolt.

2nd. It's not that big of deal if you've made it that far.

I never bother with those little bolts. I just remove the center bolt and remove the whole assembly
