Richard,

The official British Leyland - Triumph Repair Time Schedule for TR6, in 
Group 1, Section 1 (Engine), Operation Number 1-115E "Crankshaft rear 
Oil Seal, Replace ....06.30" which is 6 hours and 30 minutes.  A Flat 
Rate Mechanic will do it in 4 hours, but the charge will be the same 
because it will be priced by the job.

This assumes a certified Factory Trained fully apprenticed mechanic.

This is also one of those jobs that you say ... "while I am in here, I 
may as well replace ..."
