Message	My car is developing a leaking front main seal and it needs to be replaced. The car is a 1990 and has 66,000 miles on it. The 60K timing belt maintenance was done about 4 1/2 years ago when the car had around 52,000 miles on it. My question is since getting to the main seal basically involves removing the timing belt what parts would you suggest replacing (even though they may only have 15,000 miles on them) since everything will already be apart. New timing belt, tensioner, fan balde, fan clutch etc.
