Rear Main Seal Replacement



I'm still struggling to make a plan of attack for my blown head 
gasket and oil/coolant leak. I had decided on a total engine rebuild, 
but I have been advised that it's just un-necessary by the good folks 
in Houston.

After crawling under my car, I've pretty much confirmed that the 
crank seal is the source of a large oil/coolant leak (I know, you're 
saying that if that was the problem, there wouldn't be coolant in 
it). I believe I have a combination of problems.

Warren has advised me to just drop the tranny in my driveway and 
replace the seal. After I undo the bell-housing bolts and the shift 
linkage, what do I do about the drive axeles? Do they just slip off 
with enough clearance, or do I have to undo the large bolts at the CV 
joint? At which end of the axle, the transmission side, or the wheel 
side?

Anyone ever do this before? Anyone nearby want to help? Thanks.
