Rear Main Seal Question

[KJL]

In the process of upgrading my flywheel and clutch and though it would be a good time to also replace the rear crank seal and crank seal housing gasket. The question is would it be easier to replace the seal with the housing removed or bolted to the engine?

Best to get a gasket from Jerry and replace the seal on the bench.

OK Thanks, Gasket and seal just arrived from Jerry's.
