Default Should You Change the Rear Oil Seal During Clutch Change?

Hopefully, this is a quick one, but I had to ask. Also, does it change very similar to the front? I just changed the front a week ago, and it was a breeze. One reason for changing the front seal is because the balancer can rub the seal. Should you change the rear for a similar reason? What does everyone, think?

if you got high mileage, or evidence its been leaking already def. do it. if looks very clean and not that many miles dont worry bout it. you do need special tools to swap out the seal, unlike the front main seal. do a search there's pics/directions how to do it on here.

It's working fine at 30k miles, so it'll stay put. Thanks.
