Going to change my rear main seal-any writeups?

[c0mmon]

Going to do my rear main seal, while ive changed the transfer case this is an astronaut journey for me.

Anyone have a good guide that outlays everything?

hoping to learn
steps
tools needed
what i should replace while I have it out

anything that can help really, going to be a PITA.

On that note, anyone in South Jersey up to helping I can throw you a few dollars/12 pack.

Thanks,

Aside from the removing everything, the seal is there and easy to remove and replace. Make sure to get an OEM seal. Aftermarket are hit or miss. Look at the flywheel also for worn or damaged teeth.

That was enough for me. The hard part is getting to it.

I found a random piece of PVC from my swimming pool plumbing parts box that was perfect.
