Great write up @Acard7 - I added this to my ultimate leak finding thread as a link in that section!

Great write up! It’s the only thing getting me through this job today. One quick question, there’s no sealant that goes on the back of the bearing housing before you reinstall it? I can’t find any mention of any in the shop manual and you didn’t mention anything but a little gasket sealant in your write up. Just want to make sure and avoid having to do this whole job over again because I missed something. Thanks!

I ended up putting just a tad of gasket sealant between the back wall and bearing, it really isn’t needed but proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance, haha!
