Default Dana 30 axle seals

On the passenger side, where exactly is the axle seal located. Is it next to the vacuum motor assembly or on the end of the axle assembly next to the outer u-joints? I need to replace mine. I understand the seals are referred to as intermident seal.

If its a CAD D30 its located in the vac-disconnect housing.
Non-CAD, would be in the diff housing across from the driver-side seal.

How hard is it to replace? I know you have to remove the vacuum motor assembly. What do you use to remove the old seal and install the new one?

Bye the way, I had pulled the axle to replace the u-joints on the passenger side several weeks ago. I know I'll have to pull the axle again.
