easy, remove the trasmission or the engine, either way one has to go. i suggest the transaxle, it can be taken from the bottom of the car. once the transaxle it removed, remove the clutch. you might as well replace it while you have it off. the flywheel has to come off next. under the flywheel you will see the rubber seal. use tweezers to gently pry the seal out. once it is out, put the new one in by hand to start. then use a flat type tool. or you can use a socket of the same diameter. tap it in flush. installation of removed items is the same as removal

Is the rear main seal on a 1989 Ford F-150 a split seal?

Get a manual on your car and it will show you how to replace it and do the job right. Yes Mine is not but it appears to be common that it can be either type. When replacing my clutch I found a small leak and decided to replace the seal. The seal itself is not hard, just getting to it.

How do you replace the rear main seal on a 1989 Ford F-150?

Either the engine has to come out, or the transmission. But make darn sure that it isn't the cork intake gasket on the back of the intake that has deteriorated, cracked up, and fallen into the engine. Oil will just pour out of the back from there.
