Default Rear Main Seal

quick question.

the rear main seal in the fairlane has gone and i obviously need to change it.

Q is ,is it as easy as pulling the engine out to get to the seal and replace the engine or is it a bit more complicated that that?

cheers

Take the box out less cables and wires..
Consider fitting a speedy sleeve over crank ...
From bearing outlets...

thin metal sleeve that fits tight over the crank. It eliminates any groove thats been warn into the crank and marginally tightens up the seal
