How hard is it to replace the rear output seal on the tranny? my car is leaking tranny fluid from the ROS and if its not to hard to fix, i may do it myself. What tools are needed and whats the level of difficulty? Im estimating at least 3 hrs to do the job.

A hammer, chisel and about 20 minutes of your time if you can get the driveshaft bolts out. Take the driveshaft out obviousely and then either take a screwdriver or prybar and hook under the inside lip and pry it out or take the chisel and chisel up the outside lip and then pry it out. Clean everything and gently tap the new one in making sure it goes in square.

The hardest part may be the driveshaft bolts. They are factory loctited and usuall dont come loose without heat.
