83 gs650 rear oil seal change

[Big Daddy]

I have an 83 gs650 and gear oil is coming out of the hub. I think it's the #16 on fische that I need and I was wondering if it is a straight forward change or if there is any tips out there that cvould help me.

I haven't done this yet myself, but it looks like fun. First, make sure the pumpkin is not overfilled with 30 weight oil instead of 80/90 hypoid oil. Head to Basscliff's site and check out his rear wheel removal tutorial on his 850. (this is a good time to think about new rear tire if yours is 10 years old). My Clymer manual is pretty good on attacking the innards of the assembly- note/ take pics of orientation of all pieces as you disaasemble. How many miles on your bike?

Thanks Tom for replying, I did take a look at BassCliff`s tire removal and that is going to help alot. I am going to take many pictures of the removal, and I might as well change the tire anyways.
Just hoping all goes well
