Rick,

Once the transmission is out it is real simple. That is if you can get the 
throw out
bearing and clutch fork off the front input shaft cover. If your pin did not 
sheer,
it is a piece of cake but if you have to drill out the pin, will take a little 
more
effort.
Once you have replaced the seal, be sure to use a sleeve or something to 
protect the
seal when you replace the cover. You dont want to damage the seal on the input 
shaft
splines. It would be a good idea to replace the rear seal and transmission mount
while you are in the vicinity.
