That tail core is on;y held on by three bolts and silicone.
Pull the drive shaft, then you can either bull the tail housing, or not.
I would pry the seal out (just a screw driver and reach under the edge of it and pry it out) then remove the tail.
Get the new seal and with the tail on the floor use a hammer and board, place the seal on the housing and use lay the board across the seal and then tap it into plac with the hammer.
Give the tail housing a nice even bead of silicone and put it back and the shaft back in.

no need to pull the tail section. just remove driveshaft and pull the seal. then use a block of wood and a hammer, or just a plastic mallet if you have one, and tap the new seal back in.
