Default Rear Mian Seal

As soon as the big brown truck brings my 1 piece oil pan gasket from Jegs, I want to replace the rear main seal (while I'm in there) The service manual explains this procedure pretty clearly, but thought I'd ask for pointers and tips from the pro's. Any specific brand of seal that's better?? Suggestions?? Concerns?? Can it easily be done on my back from the garage floor? Thanks guys and gals! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Didn't the last issue of Corvette Fever have an article on this? Had pics and step by step explanation on the whole job.
