On another inspection of the car's engine, it was clear that the crankshaft front oil seal needed to be replaced. However, I am not in the US and am having difficulty doing this. Can you please advise me on the sequence of steps to disassemble the engine to replace the crankshaft front oil seal?

Sure, here you go, it looks like you will need a special flywheel holding tool to remove the front balancer. Also, a puller will be needed as well. But I have used an impact gun to remove the center bolt if you have access. When installing the front seal use a sealer to help the installation. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
