Default Any one ever replaced there rear main seal?

My friend has a 90's ranger..i think its later 90's...not sure...but his rear main seal is leaking...

has any one ever replaced theirs?

Whats the difficulty on a job like this?

----------

Also they are saying he has to replace the engine oil pan gasket.... and for one of these two jobs they have to remove the engine....
