Rear Main seal, where in SoCal

[tcm glx]

I have decided that I need to have my rear main seal replaced. I know that it is something I can do on my own, but at this point, I would rather pay to have it done. I have already done the valve cover, and the oil pain and the leakage continues and it just gets on my freakin nerves.

Any recomendations on who, where or for how much I can get it done? I live in the Ontario area BTW.

Maybe we should have a rear seal replacement party???

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news....but your gonna have to remove the oil pan again to replace the rear main seal. I recomend the factory or fel pro one peice silicon oil pan gasket, and the fel pro rear main. I just cut the little tabs of the rear main so you can rotate the seal so its not lining up with the part line on the cap... And use some good silicone ( toyota fipg-black ) so that it doesn't leak before its supposed to. I heard that Jeep Care Center in HB is not too bad... I don't know personally, because I do all my own work...

Scott.

The hardest part is talking the oil pan and gasket off. Since you've done this once before the job should only take at most an hour.

Yah the gasket on the 93/94 and older is a PITA to get off (like cement) but it just takes time. As Clean-RC said get the later 95-up one piece oil pan gasket and make sure you dab some RTV where the bearing cap and timing cover meets the block.
