Yes, It is true and it is not fun. Are you sure it is the rear main? I went through this last year and I was sure it was the rear main. After replacing the seal it was still leaking. Turned out to be a galley plug. Trust me on this, pull everything including the fly wheel and save yourself some grief. It could be the cam seal or the
oil galley plugs on the FE's. You will have an easier time with the rear main either way.
