Well, I finally wrestled the tranny and overdrive out of the car and installed 
a new clutch.  Upon inspecting the interior of the bell housing, I noticed the 
oil seal around the 1st motion shaft is failing.  It was installed by a PO 
badly as it has a few dents on the metal lip of the seal - probably hammered in 
without protecting it.  This has the effect of keeping my garage floor well 
lubricated.

So, the question is - how difficult is it to remove the old one and install a 
new one?  How does one get the old seal out?  Do I need to separate the bell 
housing and transmission to properly get to the seal?  I'm assuming I'll need 
(in addition to a new seal) the gasket set (assume Moss).  There is a buffer 
pad that Moss doesn't carry.  Is that something I'd need to replace?

As always, I appreciate the collective wisdom of the List and await your 
responses.
