First of all, it is necessary to remove the Oil Pan, as well as to take out the rear oil seal retainer and the rear main bearing cap. The lower rope seal can be removed by use of a small screwdriver; ensure that it is done gently. Than insert a long wood screw or sheet-metal-screw through one end of the upper seal and pull on the screw while an assistant turns the crankshaft to remove the seal. Scrub the surface of the crankshaft and smudge a small amount of engine oil to the surface.

Last join the lower seal retainer with the RTV-type sealant on both sides and again replace the oil pan and fill it with the right type and measure of oil for the engine.
