Bowl gasket needs to be replaced on my 12JE. Is it hard to replace? Any special tools needed? Anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Yup, should be easy!!
Would I want to just replace the bowl bushings and seal while I've got it apart? Bowl gasket sounds easy, how about the bushings and seal?
I know this is a dumb question but, do I put any type of sealant on the gasket before in stalling or nothing? I use gear lube, 90 wt? How much lube? How long should this take me?
Bowl gasket goes on dry, no sealant. Some use a release agent, so they can access the impeller quickly, and reuse the gasket. Bowl holds a pint or so of gear oil. Remove both plugs, and fill it full.
