is a flywheel seal a rear main seal?
Howdy all -
I'm going to try to replace the clutch in my car tomorrow (and for as many subsequent days as it takes). Brace for ignorant question. One of the many pieces in my $700 box of goodies from Pelican Parts is a "flywheel seal." Does that mean "rear main seal," or are there two seals in that neighborhood?
much obliged,

sorry. Yes, the rear main seal is the flywheel seal.Don't Forget to replace the Pilot Bearing, and the release fork bearings!
You will need to have a machine shop press the release fork bearings in for you. The clutch job isn't hard. I promise.
Remove the old pilot bearing by:
The bolt will pop out repeatidly, just keep trying over and over again. I used WD-40 to help it out.

Remove the old pilot bearing by:
- Clamp a pair of vise grips onto a bolt at a 90 degree angle.
- hook the head of the bolt behind the pilot bearing
- Hit the vise grips with a hammer.
