The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Driveline oil seals

Hi,

I have a 1946 half ton Chev ute with the 216 engine, 3 speed floor shift and torque tube.
I have lots of oil leaks and need to replace the rear main seal, the clutch plate and the okie bushing to name a few.

Every Youtube video I've seen starts with the engine already out of the vehicle, or theres no rear axle.

Is it possible to change these seals etc, WITHOUT removing the engine or the rear axle.
Thank you

Bob
