A slide hammer to remove the bearing from the axle tube, and a driver to install the new bearing and seal. Check the axleshaft for wear at the spot the bearing rides, any pitting and wear will be signs to replace the shaft.

You'll need an internal slide hammer.

easy job if you have a slide hammer remove diff cover remove 1/4 inch grub bolt holding pin rotate diff pin will fall out push drive shaft inward and c clip will fall out remove shaft use slide hammer to pull bearing clean well use bearing driver or large socket to fit to drive bearing in then renew seal and put back together in reverse order think this is about it but sure somone will correct me if im wrong
