There is an excellent article written by Mark Hatch on Greg Valazza's
web-site about replacing the rear main seal.

        Hello,
        I am in need of serious information/instructions on how to replace
the 
        rear mail seal on a 70 2000.  I am very close to losing my clutch
from 
        the oil that has leaked into the bellhousing.  I would like to
replace 
        this myself.  Any place that there might be documentation?  Seems
like
        I had seen some somewhere...I just can't remember.  Are there any
things    
        avoid?  What are the minimal replacement items?  As it stands...I
plan 
        on replacing the oil pump...the clutch/throwout bearing, pressure
plate...
        locating the exhaust leak that I have....do I need to replace the
fork 
        that moves the throwout bearing?  What is a good way to determine if
the
        fork needs replacing?  Anything else that I will/should replace at
this 
        time...what gaskets will I need to replace?  I know that this is a
lot...
        but I would like to avoid getting stuck by something that could have
been
        easily avoided.
                                        Thanks in Advance
                                        Doug Walsh
