Main Seal
I am going to replace flywheel and clutch on my 1992 accord with 190k miles and I am wondering if I should also replace main (rear crankshaft) seal while replacing flywheel? Is it a normal practice that we all should try to do? (FYI - the main seal is not leaking and is original.) Thanks.

terrible advice
replace that ******..... otherwise risk doing it soon down the road AFTER you have re-installed the trans.
do as many seals as you can when you have access.
example: when doing timing belt i always replace cam,crank, and balance shaft seals regardless of condition.

I dissagree, very rarely see a leaking rear main. The that do leak are usually still under warranty.
