Rear main seal leaking in a 77 FJ40 (1 Viewer)

77 FJ40 rear main seal (by the crank) is leaking engine oil. How hard is this to fix?

Are you mechanically inclined? If not get someone to do it. Otherwise use the google search to search Mud. Lots of information on this.

Plan to get someone else to do it. Would like to know how hard it is to replace the seal...does the engine have to come out etc? Any idea of labor hours involved?
Thanks

can be done in a day, plan on replacing the clutch preasure plate and throw out bearing, machine the flywheel, change the input seal on the transmision
parts cost maybe $250-300?? most will be labor
