rear main seal (replacement with one piece seal)

#1

I have an 85 CJ7 amc 150 i4 and currently doing a clutch job-flywheel
is pulled off. The rear main seal is leaking, and I'm not sure if I
actually have to pull the oil pan to put a new one piece seal in. If
I don't have to pull the oil pan etc, do I have to drain the oil or
would the oil level be sitting below the seal when the engine is off?

Replace the seal while the flywheel is off:

the crankshaft throws. Usually the oil leak is the rear part of the valve
cover.
