Getting ready to replace 440 rear main seal, any advice?

[1969chargerrtse]

Hi, my 440 leaks out the rear of the motor, pretty sure it's the rear main seal.  I was reading post from a year ago and now have to  wonder if I should do the job?    Any advise from people who have done the job on their backs?  Advice on the best part supplier and any tools needed?  Any help would be appreciated.

no specialty tools needed really - just a 12pt 3/8" socket for the seal retaining plate...    other than that it is all gravy...         

one suggestion: remember to drain the oil first...     ask me how i forgot to do that once...

Couldn't of been as bad as the time my dad, drained the oil for a oil change, then added 5 quarts of oil to the trani and drove down the road with the engine knocking and slipping gears?   Or my brother that we asked to add a quart of oil to the car, and 15 mins later he was still leaning over the fender dribbling a small stream of oil into the dip stick tube>    Yes, sad to say this is my gene pool.
