Dave; The Pantera service manual states "remove the engine/transaxle (because chassis braced is fixed on original Pantera); however, as bdud states, if the chassis brace (possibly hand brake support also) is removable in order to remove the oil pan, the rear main seal may be replaced with the engine in the vehicle. The service manual procedure states to remove oil pan & pump, loosen the main bearing cap bolts to lower the crankshaft to no more than 1/32", followed by removing the rear main bearing cap to access the rear oil seal from the bearing and block. It further states that the block portion of the seal may be removed by using a seal removal tool or inserting a "small" metal screw (USING EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO SCRATCH THE CRANSHAFT SEAL SURFACES)into the end of the seal and pulling on the screw to remove the seal. A competent technician should be able to properly remove/install the seal.
