Duck,
I found using a little spray on gasket remover helped speed things up considerably. I think Permatex made the product I used and I bought it at Auto Zone. Most big chain auto parts should have some brand of the spray. Make sure you clean off all residual gasket material and remover (if you use one) before installing the new gasket. I saved at least a half hour of gasket scraping time by using the gasket remover, as compared to a couple of times I replaced the rear seal and bushing on other Bricks without it.
BTW. it's good idea to replace that bushing when you do the seal. If you don't have a press to press it out, Don Foster gave me a great tip. Use a hack saw(take one end of the blade loose and run through the bushing and hook it back up to the saw frame) and carefully cut the inside of the bushing along the groove in the tailcone. Don't cut into the tail piece. When cut through the bushing will collapse with some careful prying and come right out. Then after lubing the new bushing you can carefully drive it in with a hammer and socket or bench vise. The only thing to note in installing the new bushing is don't line the hole in the bushing up with the groove in the housing. Hope this helps.
