<VV> Input shaft seal/main seal replacement

[UltraMonzaWest at aol.com]

1  Go to http://members.aol.com/PatioMatt/66vert.htm  and look at Engine ONLY 
 removal pics and instructions.....then decide which way to go.

2   To AID  in separation of the engine / trans.....either way you pull 
them.......get 2  3/8" x 6"  common bolts....cut off the heads  and round the 
ends...GUIDE PINS!

Also  on the lower 2 bolts on the bellhousing to trans.....that you had fun 
getting out......cut a SLOT  in the heads of these 2    use a screwdriver to 
start / snug them!  then a Wrench!

3  When you get it apart.....if the front seal is leaking.....oil will be on 
the backside of the flywheel....if none.....no leaky!  ggg   If the input seal 
is leaking....you'll have a wet clutch..and gearlube is real thick.......if 
neither.....the bolts holding the flywheel to crankshaft need 
resealing.....locktite, etc...

Go for it...and follow others  suggestions........I have the ATV  
jack.......would never go back to the floorjack!
