Question:

Can I change out the front seal, rear main seal (will go ahead and clutch it while here) without pulling the engine? In other words, I'm going to have to remove radiator, timing chain cover, etc and remove clutch and change out rear main seal...is all this possible without removing the motor - my motor runs pretty good so no need (aka no money) for a rebuild yet...

Thanks for the help...

Yea you can , But it's a big job and you will probly half to unbolt the motor mounts so you can jack the motor up far enough to get the pan off. But otherwise just a time consumming job to do. Good luck!
