what's the best way to take out the stationary gear w/ engine in the car?
The FSM doesn't really help and I don't want to damage anything. I have a slight oil leak and its coming from that area. I'm in the process of doing an auto to manual swap but I figured since everything is out I might as well fix it now before it gets any worse. Both the o ring and rear main seal will be replaced. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

loosen up the bolts and pull the stationary gear with the rear main seal in place, the seal will help keep the eshaft centered. Once the gear is out you can change the oring and the rear main seal. While the gear is out, try not to move the eshaft. Grease/oil up the oring and seal and put everthing back in. It's pretty straight forward and you shouldn't have any issues.

When I remove the stationary gear, do I just use something like a pry bar to separate it from the rear cover?
and why would I have to make sure a face is facing the plugs on the front rotor? I'm sure nothing will move the e-shaft while the gear is out...

It has extremely low tollerances between the bearing and the E-shaft, it should come out easy, as long as you are pulling straight out, if your prying from one side more than the other it might bind up.

Make sure and leave 1 bolt in the stationary gear housing. This will ensure that it comes out straight. I believe I used a flat head screw driver to work the it out slowly, it did require a little bit of force and made a popping noise when it came out for me.

Does anyone happen to have pictures of this? I am replacing my clutch with the ACT this weekend and figured its probably a good idea to get the rear main and O ring...Does anyone have part numbers for these? I'd like to order them today...
Thanks in advance.

I have actually read through that link and it did help a lot...I'm more just wanting to make sure there is nothing that throws me off when I have everything torn apart. The car is not and never will be my DD so I can take my time and do everything right.
Do the FD's have what is considered a stepped flywheel? I am under the understanding that these are a little more complicated to have re surfaced... or maybe just more set up time so they cost a bit more?
