If you're talking about changing the front crankshaft seal, changing it is easiest with the timing cover removed as the seal is pressed into the timing cover. Removing the timing cover will involve removing the water pump and the crankshaft damper also (as well as the front accessories). Purchase a timing cover gasket kit as it will contain gaskets for everything removed (water pump, timing cover) as well as a front crankshaft seal.
