You should go buy yourself a Haynes or Chiltons repair manual. It gives step by step instructions and has illustrations.

Rear mains are relatively commonly replaced seals for neons. To replace it you would need to completly remove the trans, then flexplate then seal. You need a special tool to install it correctly.
