Rear main seal, question!!! Okay someone is telling me that you don't have to drop the tranny and such to do the rear main seal, and that you can just drop the pan and get to it on my T.A.
This makes no normal sense to me... but is it true?

Negative, the engine or transmission one will have to come out of the way to change it!

Our techs don't use that tool and we've never had any problems with them! But they've also done quite a few of these and have some more experience to guide them in the process.

You don't need any special tool to do it. I dropped the tranny in my garage, pulled the cover off, pulled the seal out then put a new one on by setting it on the cover evenly then apply even pressure to install.
