Hey ho!

Like other TR7s, my rear motor mount is slowly turning to jelly from leaking 
transmission fluid.  

It looks to me like I can replace the rear oil seal in the TR7 5-speed tranny 
in situ, by dropping the drive shaft, and unbolting the mainshaft flange.  
The oil seal should be right behind it.  

Any advice/tricks of the trade for this procedure?  And it looks like the 
rear mainshaft bearing is right behind the oil seal.  Inspect or just replace 
as well? 

As usual, thanks!
