i'm look for a how-to to remove the rear seal on my 302 form '72

I'm looking for a good manual with many pictures.

a google search will get you there .. but of the many things iv`e advised people not really sharp on mechanics not to try themselves this is one of the top .. you really need to know what you`re doing .. the seal is a two piece unit and the bottum part is easily removed from the rear main cap once the cap is removed but the top piece is fit very snug against the crankshaft .. you must take a small punch and very carefully push/tap against the upper half and rotate it out of the block .. then it is equally difficult to reinstall the new seal .. and it is recommended that the ends be staggered in the main cap and the block to help insure propper sealing ..

thank you for the reply.

I have mech/ experience since i'm a wind turbine gearbox technician.
I need to know the tips and tricks for this repair, also like torque settings and so on.

I want to be prepared and know what i'm doing before i do this repair.

find a "chiltons" repair manual from that era .. of coarse you have to pull the oil pan first .. you may have to jack up the engine a bit .. but you can do it ..
