Timing belt job complications
Timing belt was not due but a leaky front crank seal prompted the job early. Any recommendations on a method for removing this small diameter seal? Also found the crank pulley key to be cracked.. Lots of locktite on the crank bolt.. is locktite necessary here? Timing belt was in good shape but rather loose. Anderson motorsport did the last timing belt job at 128.5k, now 169k miles.

The T-Belt Replacement FAQ at S-CARS.org says that the front crank seal is glued on...
...I am planning on doing my t-belt soon, and was hesitant to do the front crank seal because it sounds like it could be a major headache. See the writeup at the link below.<ul><li><a href="http://www.s-cars.org/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=arti cle&sid=148&mode=thread&order=0&th old=0">http://www.s-cars.org/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=arti cle&sid=14

No it is not. And it's easy to do if you have the right tool
The description in Bentley & S-Cars is good
You can <a href="http://www.blauparts.com/audi_vw_timing_belt_kits/Audi_Timing_Belt_Kit_VW_Timing_Belt_Kit.htm">rent</a> the tools from Blau if you buy the T-belt kit from them.
Or just get it <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/VW-AUDI-SPECIAL-TOOL-CAM-SEAL-FITTING-T10015_W0QQitemZ4624486280QQcategoryZ10372QQssPage NameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">cheap</a> online
