How to Replace the Rear Main Seal in a Ford 289 or 302

What happens when you go to replace the rear main seal on your Ford 289 or 302 and you find out it's the original Rope Seal?
First, you panic a little. Then, you realize this is doable and you move forward.
Using either a Sneaky Pete or a long wood screw, thread it up inside the old seal and pull it out. You may need to use some leverage, like using a hammer and a piece of wood and pry out the screw. It may sound bad but it works, trust me. :)
