removing rear crank seal? [5kcstq]

[james accordino]

I replaced mine when I did the clutch.  Got it at
Autoz*ne.  Boxed by Felpro, German seal, US made paper
gasket in box.  Somewhere around $8-12 USD.
Removing/replacing the seal is a piece of cake with
the housing removed.

Like Phil said, don't worry about the pump, it's a
tank
