Do it yourself, it is not that hard, get another pair of hands to assist you. I helped my buddy change the seals on a CJ 7 which is much harder as it had two piece axles, (changed to one piece at that time). Your Jeep is much easier, get any jeep service manual. You can do it and you do not need air tools. You will need a BFH though. If you take the axles to any shop they will press them for you for $15.00....
