How difficult is it to replace the rear output shaft seal on an automatic 95 Legacy wagon? Can I do it by dropping the drive shaft and heat shields? I am trying to decide if I should take it to my mechanic or spend some time under the car this weekend. Thanks, Bert

if it is anything like my '85 3AT, then yes, you should be able to drop the driveline to replace the seal.

 

(I wouldn't imagine there'd be some reason why you couldn't do it that way).
