Hi all,Rear main seals are easy.First you need tools.Second,you need jack
stans,third,Oil.Fourth,rope type seal,do not take the bushing type
seal.Five,fish line and needle.Six,Jack car up,put car on stands.Warning:If only
using two jack stands block back wheels,Or car could fall.Take off center
link;remove right and left inner tye rod ends,take off ideler arm.Move center
link to the back,it will pivit on pitman arm ,drain oil pan ,take off oil pan.I
for get wether the bolts are half inch or ninesixteenths you need a wrench,and
ratchet with extention and socket.After the last main cap on the crank,right at
the back casting theres a tiny cap flush with the block,take that off,this
exposes the seal,it should be rope type grab an end,pull it down,I use vice
grips. Now ,thred the fishing line in the needle,put it threw the seal ,tye
both sides of the line together,make it long ,this is how you pull the seal
threw.Push line up around crank,push with one hand pull with the other.O yea,oil
the seal first,not a lot,alittle every where.Cut line off and trim seal so they
fit slightly over laping ..............Put back to gether,you need pan gasketand
cotter pins
