need alittle more info on the car but if it is on a mustang it can be done because it is a one peice seal and you just got to drop the transmission and take off the flywheel or flexplate if i remeber right

Its simple but you do have to either drop the trans or at least move it back far enough to remove the flywheel and engine plate. Make sure to get a double lip seal for it.

Also make sure you seal the flywheel bolts or you will still have a leak. I always put blue locktite on the tip of the threads and black rtv towards the head.
