It's super easy, barely an inconvenience... at least while the engine is out. ;)

I dropped a pic in the other thread with the whole setup I went with on my '95's OEM 351W. Was a "Micro-sleeve" and not a "Speedy" as Joe recommended though.
Those pics have all the parts and part numbers. I still have a few laying around from when I was trying to figure it out and I keep forgetting to list on the site.

1. Victor Reinz: Part# JV1636
2. Fel-Pro: Part# BS40645 / Part#: P96222 (recommended not to use with sleeve but has no "spring retainer" either.)

Maybe that info will just help you get what you need.
Unfortunately, I can't say how it would have lasted over time because I ended up re-pulling and having it long-blocked after 200 miles.
 
Google can't seem to find the thread you are talking about?
Could you link me when you have a chance, please?
It was that other thread by StephenL that you poked your head into.

Actually, @cobrajoe gave me the good info that convinced me to install the sleeve/seal combo instead of just replacing the seal.

Sleeve I used...

New sleeve and seal installed...

Long thread with lots of great advice when I pulled my 351 to "re-seal": '95 engine pull?
A link to a giant sized version of the picture with the part number details: 1995 Ford Bronco R&R 351W picture | SuperMotors.net
And a copy of the instructions... for detailed, proper, specific info.

I'd be willing to loan out the install tool... but it's not that expensive, so... you're call.
 
The Micro-Sleeve I used didn't have any external flare to be removed.
It flares inward around the outer end to cap/wrap but that's all.
