Do I have everything I need for a rear main seal replacement? Options

[era vulgaris]

Decided to replace my RMS myself. First time I've pulled a trans, so I want to make sure I have everything I need before I start.

- 12 point triple square bit for CV bolts
- Flywheel lock
- clutch alignment tool

- Sabo RMS
- Flywheel o ring
- felt washer
- crush washer

- new CV gaskets
- new schnorr washers for CV bolts

Should I get a new pilot bearing? My engine and trans only have about 15,000 miles on them.
Anything to do with the clutch fork that needs to be taken care of when the trans is removed?
Is there anything else I'll need? Can all other bolts and washers be re-used?

Since this is your 1st time; 1, there is a bolt on top left side that is easy if you have a friend. If not you'll set a closed end wrench on the bolt head from the engine side or the nut on the tranny side will not come off. 2, the tranny might want to stick to the engine when you try to remove it. Maybe not. But if it does just man handle it and rock it about a wee bit. BE SURE that the rear of the engine is properly supported before you begin yanking on the tranny. Take a ton of pic's. You might need them to refer to later on. 3, mark or measure where the nuts are on the clutch cable. It will save you several trips back under the car. 4, take yer time aligning the disc. If it's a new one slide it upon the pilot shaft before installing to be sure it fits. Don't forget to clean out the allen head screws on your CV's before trying to remove them or you'll strip one. 5, talking to ones self is allowed and don't forget to have fun.
