what else to do while replacing real main seal 850 1996

hi folks,

my rear main seal leak is getting worse and worse--i'm gonna have it replaced this week. a couple of questions:

1. what other components should be serviced at the same time as the rear main (to save on labor down the road)?

2. i have an indy mechanic whom i trust, and he works out of his garage. i figure his labor rate will save me a boatload compared to the bigger indy shop that charges 90/hr. provided he has the lift, etc., is this a job that's easy to botch and screw up other things in the process?


thanks!

paul
