How do you change a rear main seal on a 1992 Seville?

Either pull the engine or the transmission. Before going to the trouble, check to see if replacing the seal will work out. Open the oil cap with the engine running. Place your hand over the hole and see if there is pressure (called blowby). If pressure is building inside the engine it will press on the oil seal and cause it to fail. Replacing an oil seal in an engine that has blowby is useless since it will fail again.
