tranny input shaft seal replacement

So, last week when I was test fitting my e24 tranny mounts a curious thing happened.  As I was lifting from the rear of the tranny, fluid started gushing out of the input shaft casing.  A quick post on s14.net netted this is not normal.  I ordered a new seal from BMA and this is the procedure:

Remove the cover plate:

The culprit:

284828562872

The old seal was yanked out with a seal puller:

 The new one pounded in with a socket and mallet:

Blue sealer/locker on the bolts since they go into the tranny case:

Finished:
