Rear Main Seal DIY?
Is there a write-up or instructions on replacing the rear main seal on an S430? I searched about and found nothing, any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks!

the dvd will lead you through it step by step. i have to assume you are an experienced mech that can perform any task on the car given the correct tools. you know what is involved in a rear main seal replacement, YIKES!. if the dealer will do it for $1200 or less my opinion is to let them do it!. the seal cost is next to nothing but the job is tough.
