I wanted to ask this from people whom have actually done this, but how hard is it to do a rear main seal on the w123 with om617 turbo?  

I'm not planning on doing this anytime soon, as I am chasing other leaks, but would like to if there are any unexpected road blocks versus other engines I've worked on.

The plan, when I get to it, trans filter, center support bearing, rear main seal, and trans mount. Flex discs actually look new but I will inspect those with em out anyways.

Mods can delete this thread. Upon research I learned that these rear main seals are a PIA to swap
