OK, so I'm tearing into my mid-70's 305 to replace the rear main seal.

Can anyone point me in the direction for the torque on the:

1: bolt holding the oil pickup/pump to the bearing cap
2: rear bearing cap

Any special "do's" or "don'ts" for this job? I have the lisle seal puller tool thingie for the 2-piece seal, which I dunno if it'll work, but it was only $5.

Last time I did this was 10+ years ago in auto shop in H.S.:shaking:
