rear differential seal

My rear differential housing is leaking around the seal. How hard are the seals to change out?

torque the pinion nut to spec, dont go by feel. and as said in the write up those nuts arent meant to be re-used and sometimes walk off, give it some blue loc-tite and call it good.

dont let kyle scare you, it's not a long job at all
