I hate to tell ya this, but, you gotta either yank the engine (Not
necessary) or yank the tranny. You also got to remove the clutch and PP.
Then you gotta remove some of the oil pan bolts to get the rear main seal
housing off of the engine. Then you press out the old seal, press in the
new one and reinstall. 

So, its in essence, a clutch job, only more.
