Have a 79 F100 needs a clutch, how do you change the rear main seal on the 300 I6. Can I do it without pulling the engine? THANKS

Sure you can!! it is very easy.
while you are there at the clutch, all you have to do is go one step farther and remove the flywheel. after you remove the flywheel there you go. it is right there in front of you.

the easiest way that I found to remove it is to get two self-tapping screws(or a hammer and punch works too)just put the screws opposite each other and use the screws to pull the old seal out.
when installing a new one, I found that a 4-inch(I think it is 4') PVC pipe fits over the seal perfectly. so that is what I use to knock it in with. you will need some type of open pipe because the crankshaft sticks through the seal and you can't just use the flat side of a 2x4.
just knock the new one in and your done.

good luck
