2 stupid questions...

...to add to the collection...

I think the parts might come in today so I'm getting ready to hoist and start the rear main seal & clutch replacement.

2 questions:

Does the oil sit high enough in the engine block that I need to drain before pulling the rear main seal?

When I last removed a driveshaft, removing the biolts was easy but the flanges were VERY difficult to seperate as they fit together so tightly & there is a bit of a lip on one flange, is there a trick to this? Also, same question for re-installation.

The oil doesn't sit that high on the crank. You will be fine for the rear main.

Just use a rummber mallot and smack it or a pry driver to pop the shaft from the flange. That's all I ever do.
