rear main seal tips?(89 camaro)
i can take out the engine and fix it...but can i prevent that?
of course its gonna be a pain either way but, is there any smoother way of swapping a rear main?

Re: rear main seal tips?(89 camaro)
You must remove the trans, remove the motor mount bolts, jack up the engine, put two boards under the mounts, remove the flywheel, remove all the pan bolts, drop the oil pump into the pan and then remove the pan.
From there you can get at the rear main.
If just the seal, remove the trans and flywheel. Then pry it out and replace.
