Hi guys, im a noob and I need to change my rear main oil seal in my 95 rio grande 2.5 but cant find anything accurate nor detailed, any help is appreciated !!!

Unfortunately you have a one piece rear main seal, you have to drop your transmission to get to it

I did it myself it's a pretty easy job you drop the pan and tranny w/transfer case and then you can either use a carefully placed screwdriver or you can try and pack it with wet paper and then hit it with a hammer and the pressure of the paper will push the seal out.

Not a difficult job, just time consuming. Make sure the refrigerator has plenty of cold beer and get busy.

That's the pilot bushing, not the rear main seal

Good catch! I didn't read it that closely. I was in a hurry.
But yeah, you have to take the flywheel off if it's a stick and the flex plate off if it's an auto. Still pretty simple. Just nuts and bolts.

Very true I'm not sure what I was thinking. Hmm my and my father pry'd it out with a flat head
