440 rear main seal leak. DONE!

ouch!!!... the trick to remove the top rope seal it was to use a selftapping screw on to one of the rope ends and pull out by the screw

Yeah, I read that somewhere after I did the job.  It's kinda hard to remember all the things you read when it's the first time you're doing it. None of the bearing caps moved so hopefully all is back to normal.

Well it's done and not a drop ( so far).  
When I pulled the car out to the driveway and it was down hill, I looked underneath and there was a puddle .  I'm happy to say it was oil from before in the bell housing.  I parked the car on my hill and let it drain.  I drove it for about a half hour and not a drop. PRAISE THE LORD!  I hope it stays this way.  When it was first rebuilt it lasted about 7 months.  I'm just glad a got a car to drive this hot weekend.

Thanks everyone and Ron for your help.  One less leak.  I think I may now be leak free.

Hope this helps others down the line.
