replacing a clutch I'm new to the LS1 Tech website. I'm changing out the rear main seal on my 2002 z28 with the T56. Between 1-10 how hard is it to remove the clutch will i have to bleed the system. Between 1-10 my mechanical skills are about a 7-8, i'm just a like scared because i have never dealt with a manual. If you could provide some info i would really be grateful .
If you've swapped a gearbox before you will be fine. It's basic but heavy work. You might want a pilot tool [plastic freebie item] for disc alignment. No reason to disconnect or need to bleed the clutch line.

take your time and no short cuts. you era replacing the clutch n flywheel right? you got an oil seal leaking you might have oil on the clutch pads..... and since you have it all torn apart why not replace clutch n fly wheel. GL.
If on an extremely tight budget just replace the seal. Or do as cowboysfan suggests; while you are there replace the clutch with an LS7, replace the throwout bearing/slave cylinder [now you DO get to bleed it], and maybe the oil soaked and ruined the rear trans mount.
