What's the best way to replace the rear main seal?

[73 240Z Man]

I have an oil leak at the rear of the engine at the front of the trans. It is coming from above the oil pan, so I am pretty sure it is the rear main seal.

What is the best way to replace this seal?

What else should I do/replace while I'm in there?

Not much too it other than drop the transmission, grease the seal and replace it. If you had a ton of miles on your tranny you could replace the input shaft seal, front paper gasket, and rear seal while you are at it. I thought my rear main was leaking, but it turned out to be the side seals so I got that knocked out too.

You could replace the Pilot bearing & service the Clutch fork. Just HOW OLD is your Slave, Clutch and Throwout Bearing?? Now is the time my brother.
