[DML] Pulling my manual transmission to replace main seal

["seanhagan" <seanhagan@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I am really sick of the leak that is not coming from my oil pan
(I recently replaced the oil pan seal), and leaking out onto the 
frame. Examined the oil pressure sender, and while yes it does leak 
(a little) it is not enough to run forward and roll off of the 
frame. 

So I have a couple of questions.
1. I am going to have to drain the fluid ( thinking it is gear oil) 
from the tranny. What is supposed to be put back in? as well as what 
grade?
2. Do I need to replace the pilot bearing that the manual states 
needs to be replaced when the transmission is worked on (since I am 
only replacing the seal, and not actually taking the thing apart, I 
am not sure)
3. What is the bolt head size holding on the bell housing?
4. Is there anything else that I need to be wary of? (other than not 
dropping the thing on my head)


Thanks!
Sean
