front crank oil seal?

Those instructions are for a VG equipped maxima. Not for the dohc timing chained VE you have.
No. timing chain removal is not necessary. Just remove the pass side tire, take off the plastic cover etc.. you will have to remove the front crank pulley to get at the seal.

This is of course a short version of the instructions but if the car is on a ramp, I don't think it's necessary. the seal is pretty far up the engine. ie.. higher than the top of the oil pan

I bought a new main oil seal at the dealer for like $3. And my mysterious oil leak suddenly stopped. And I got my new UDP installed.
To get that crank pulley off, an impact wrench is very nice to have. But, since you have a 5 spd, you can do without.

When I did my UDP job, I was just about to take the starter off and do Matt's idea. And then my brother's neighbor said, "I have an impact wrench!" WooHoo!!! It took me about 2 seconds and that nut was off. And it took two more seconds to put that nut back on and torque it to 165 ft-lbs.
So, ask around and see if you can find someone with an air tank and an impact wrench, and all your problems will be solved. It will save you an hour of frustration. Since I don't know too much about that starter idea, I can't help you any further.

From what I am told, you do not have to have an impact wrench to get your pulley off. You just leave your engine in gear when you shut it off. I believe that will keep the engine from turning so you can use a freaking huge breaker bar to get that nut off. Since, I couldn't stop my engine from turning, I had to use an impact wrench. Have fun!

The engine turns clockwise...you set postion for the break bar to break it loose turning left when you crank the engine for a split second. Works on perfectly without using strength.

As for the size of the socket, it's been a while since I did my job. I am guessing a 22mm socket. Just a guess though. I just used a regular Craftsman socket on an impact wrench. It worked fine for me.
Also, if you are having trouble removing some of the belts, make sure that tensioner is as far back as it will go. All my belts fell off. When I put the belts back on, I had that tensioner so far back, the belt easily laid up there and then I started tightening it. I followed my Chilton's Manual for belt removal. Good Luck!

Right hand thread or Left hand thread?
I talked with a coworker today about this and he told me to check the nut to see if this is a right hand threaded or left hand threaded nut. He said the nut may need to be turned CW to loosen since he said this is the engine rotation direction. But from what I read here, to loosen the nut, you turn it CCW like a normal nut, is this correct? thanks.
