Changing rear tranny oil seal?
I have a small crack at the bottom of the seal and it needs to be replaced. IF i have the car level and remove the old seal will a lot or any oil pour out?
And to i need a special tool to set the new seal intoplace or will just tapping around it with a hammer work?

You can do the seal without draining the tranny oil. As for the install, I believe we just used a short piece of pipe a bit smaller in diameter to tap it in. It has been a while since I did mine the last time and I'll be damned if I can remember just how it seated in there. It was definitely not difficult.

I think some oil will come out, but not a whole lot. If you raise the rear of the car you may prevent any oil from coming out.
A hammer and punch is fine for installing it, just really take your time, make sure it goes in straight, and be patient getting it started.
