Pat,
Rear trunion seal are not that difficult.
After you have the nut and washer off, shoot a little WD40 or some other
penetrating oil on to both ends of the bolt. I should drive out without
much difficulty.
One minor up grade that I preformed was to use neoprene "O" rings in
place of the little rubber gaskets that come with the kit.
It makes reassembly a little tighter, but the "O" ring should far out
last the rubber gasket and will last longer.
Best Regards,
