So after battling with the stubborn crank pulley last week I finally got everything off. The heat I used to get it off made seal brittle no majors needed a new 1 anyway. But in my efforts to get it out I have managed to put a small burr on crank towards the back. Has eaten new seal as I didn't notice when I put it back together. What is the best way to remove burr without damaging crank further. Many many tganks

Painfully rubbing it down with some fine wet and dry, or use a speedi-sleeve.
You can rub it down enough so the seal will not be damaged, but it will almost certainty leak a bit at the low spot that remains.
Check your favorite bearing supplier for a speedi-sleeve.
Oh - and congratulations on getting things apart. It can be a very frustrating job in cramped conditions. :)

rctr by "eaten seal" do you mean sliced it going in or ripped it up by spinning inside the seal? reason for asking is that as long as the burr isn't lined up with the seal then file then sand it smooth so the seal can slide over it If its up under the seal itself then I'd be much more careful to remove as little material from the crank as possible. hopefully it doesn't go full depth of the seal and it might not leak
