I assume you mean axle seal, not pinion seal.
Google is your friend. This thread on another board has a description and a good pic.

Only issue is you need to pop out the carrier and then it is easy to do seals on both sides.

Remove the axle shafts first.
Pull the diff cover, drain the diff, remove the bearing caps, remove the carrier.
Take a piece of PVC pipe, insert it down the axle tube, pound the seal out.
Reverse order of operations for re-assembly.
