Is it worth replacing a camshaft seal on a 97 breeze and how?

If this is a 4-cyl, it is a very in-depth process to replace the seal...removing motor mounts and the majority of engine components to be able to pull the camshaft. If it is necessary, follow instructions for replacing the head gasket on your model. You can replace the seal at the point of removing the Timing Belt.

NEED to??? No. But the question becomes, why are you replacing the camshaft? You should always replace the lifters when replacing the camshaft. A worn camshaft usually indicates that there will be other wear as well, but if you just want to squeeze a few more miles out of the engine, you might be able to get by with just replacing the cam and lifters.
