Slightly different subject: I'm about to replace timing belt, crank seal,
WP etc. on this car.  What about the Cam Seals, which I think I once
heard were a potential problem too.

Anyone done this? What's the procedure? I assume the belt spockets have
to be removed... right?

Any pointers on pulling and replacing these and the crank seal
appreciated!

Break the belt sprockets loose before removing the
timing belt.

Oh. great idea!!  I'll make sure to do that...

Are the sprockets just splined/keyed on the camshafts?

Do you need a puller to get them off once the retaining nut is loosened?

I could be wrong.  I seem to remember a taper
and a square key.  I did not need a puller to
get mine off.
