Rear Seal Question and Bumper Question....newb. :)

First the specs:

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (ZJ)
2WD
4.0L
Automatic

Took it in for an oil change today and they found the rear main seal is leaking. Which, of course, would explain the slow oil leak I've been experiencing (not to mention maybe why my oil guage jumps around). I've searched the forums but not found any real detailed information on how to replace the seal. So if anyone could direct me to a good source, I'd be much obliged as this will probably be a DIY project for me due to monetary constraints.

Also, the ZJ has been tagged in the rear bumper which shifted it up an inch or so and the tailgate rubs when closing and opening. Are there any adjusting bolts on the rear bumper I can use to nudge it back down?

Ok, well here are two sites I recently found and bookmarked, there not the greatest, but it was enough for me to get the picture. Now just need to put them to use.

http://www.myjeeprocks.com/features/...d_Installation

http://jeepin.com/features/rearmain/index.asp

Sorry don't know how to post links for some reason.

(edit) Well I guess it changes the links it's self.

I had my rear seal go out in my cherokee and decided that since I didn't have a lift and the job seems a pain in the a__, I swallowed my pride and let the shop do it. I had to save for it.
