Parts, no. Tools, yes. Buy an OE seal, current p/n is 023-997-84-47, current dealer MSRP is less than $12.

BTW - be VERY VERY careful when re-installing the hub on the crankshaft. The woodruff key likes to not slide into the hub, and it pushes back against the crankshaft, preventing the hub from seating properly. When you start to tighten the screw for the hub, just turn it 2-3 turns then remove, and inspect the keyway with a flashlight & mirror. If the key is not still clearly in place, remove the hub, re-seat the key, and try again. Repeat as necessary. Take careful note of how far the hub seats against the engine (note space between hub and timing cover / seal) BEFORE you remove it, make sure when it's re-installed that it's in the EXACT same position. If it's 1/8" or more too far out, the key is in the way. If you screw up and drop the key into the crankcase, you'll have to pull the side oil sump off to retreive it.
