Default Rear main seal leaking

Hello all,

Just wondering what is involved in replacing the rear main seal. It is leaking a little and I heard it is hard to get to.

Thanks,

Fairlee

remove mid pipe, remove driveshaft, remove transmission, remove starter, remove bellhousing, remove clutch/flywheel, remove old seal, install new seal

put everything back together in the opposite order it came off


shouldnt take more than 2 hours
