OK - I got the flywheel off (without stripping out any of those $#!% cheesehead bolts i might add) and am about to replace the rear main seal. Have any of you replaced this recently? Can I safely get away with the method in the Haynes (= gospel) using a pipe section or ring compresser type thing or should I wait/pay for the oil seal installation tool thing (like my mechanic suggests)? What should i expect when i take the old one out?
The method in Haynes looks like it's good but I wanted to make sure and get a little input since I'm so far into the car
