The rear oil seal leak is getting worse and looking more toward replacement time. It doesn't look like an easy job and I was wondering if anyone has any short cuts.  I don't really want to have to pull the engine to do the job, but  not sure if it can be done in frame.  I have repair invoices from the 90's  showing where the front  end was pulled off for the purpose of replacing the rear oil seal (older rope seal) and was wondering   if this was the  easier method.

If the engine does have to come out, is it easier to pull the exhaust  with the engine or take the headers off at the head and leave the exhaust in the car.  I'd like to separate it at the bellhousing  and just pull the engine by itself if possible.

Any advice would be of  great assistance.
