changing rear seal (66 390)

[SIXTSIX]

Hey...

Anyone out there that can give a step by step
procedure to change the rear seal without
dropping the crank would be much 'preciated.
I would like to be sure that the job is done properly
while the motor is out and being detailed.

.....Thanx. Gurtz

Relative simple.. Remove the oil pan.. Remove the rear main bearing cap.. Push old seal out of block.. Lift old seal out of cap.. Push new seal in block.. Place new seal in bearing cap.. Precaution, if it isn't stated with seal instructions, do not place seal ends at the block/cap juncture.. Place seal ends about one-half inch from cap end surface.. If you find the rope seal in the engine, remove both pieces and put in new neoprene seal.

Thanx Harley....

I have the pan off and was going to attempt the
procedure but I thought I would get some input
first.....

........Thanx again...Mike.
