81 Rear Main, Seal Change---- How Hard ????
I was thinking of changing the rear main seal, I have a fairly good leak. It should be no big deal to remove the steering linkage because I just replaced the control valve and piston. The oil pan is just removal of bolts, same thing for oil pump. Remove bearing cap bolts and the seal should now be visable. Its the rest I am not sure of, has anyone done this on their 81? Thanks for any help.

Do a search under C3 for "rear main seal" Here is a link I came up with. I printed it and am getting ready to do it on my 82
