Yep if you dont have the correct tq wrench etc it can be a tedious process and you have to be extra carefull with the rear main bearing so if your not too comfortable I would just take it somewhere. You also might want to check and make sure you dont have oil dripping down from your sending unit port on the top of the block behind the intake. There have been many times where a false indication of a rear main seal was coming from a leaking sending unit. Good luck.
