Rear Main Seal

[chevmn]

All done and pan is back on. Not an easy task, mainly due to the harding of the old seal from over 50 years. I think loosening all the main caps, then finding a tool that would allow tapping (briskly) yet not damage the sealing surface of the crank finally did the trick. Sure glad I was not pressed for time, as I went at it off and on for days, and it was best to not persist, and lose patience, and do more harm. Hopefully I do not have to do another, but not betting on it, but I am in my 60's and this was my first. Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
