Hi, I also have a 1950 WD-6. Here's what the manual says about that seal:

"Oil seals are provided at the front and rear of the crankshaft. The front seal is combination felt and leather, located in the crakcase front cover; assemble with the felt portion of the seal toward the outside. The rear oil seal is a split type felt; the flywheel must be removed to replace the seal. When an oil leak occurs between the flywheel and crankcase, check the fit of the expansion plug (2-1/8 inch) at the rear of camshaft; also check the rear main bearing for excessive wear, and replace all gaskets, and felt of the rear oil seal."

The book also says the "clutch is removable through top of frame after removing gas tank, etc., ..." Not sure whether you could get the flywheel off through the same opening or not.

Good luck.

Keith
