In this video I show you how to replace any rear main seal in your 4.6, 5.4, or 6.8 V10 Ford Modular engine. All of these engines use the same seal, oil slinger, and aluminum cover. The procedure is exactly the same for all years. To change the seal you need to remove the transmission and transfer case if you have one. The seal is cheap and relatively easy to replace compared to removing the transmission. If you have an oil leak at the back of the engine chances are it is this rear main seal leaking or the oil pan gasket leaking.

nice video man… I have a 06 mustang gt 5 speed and my seal is leaking what is a fair price to repair it
Great video, this looks like a very expensive job if you want to be done by a mechanic.
I used to go through rear main seals. Finally had to switch brands
How much would a dealer charge me to do this?
What do you do with the plastic sleeve after you get everything in place? Every video I’ve watched says nothing about the plastic sleeve. Do you leave it in there? How do you get it out without messing up the seal?
Well done vid. Very informative. Thanks!
Does the catalytic converter need to be taken out too, to get to the rear main seal on a 98 for explorer sport?
Excellent training techniques. Ty
My housing in the only thing that looks like it seaping but not sure but can I just replace the gasket for that and not remove the seal from the cover
Does this apply to the 4.2 Manuel
