By the way you have an S40 but have posted the question in the old RWD section.
This is the procedure as best as I remember it from my Summer experience in December:
Remove your fan belt. You need to undo the large nut (30mm from memory) on the crankshaft (this will be hard without an impact gun or making up a jig to prevent rotation of the engine), then remove the harmonic balancer-four 10mm bolts, next remove your timing belt which necessitates removal of the hydraulic tensioner , then slip off the crank pulley with a large tyre lever (but be gentle), next use a pick to remove the seal and clean faces etc then slip on a new one. The lip of the new seal will "catch" on the sharp crank so coax it in gently with a rounded pick, then beat it in with an appropriately sized socket. Re-assemble in reverse order with particular attention to your timing marks for the timing belt.
Feel free to post back with any questions you may have.
