proceedure to replace rear wheel seal

I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee with a leaking rear wheel seal on the drivers side. What special tools will I need and is it an involved proceedure?

Make sure the axle shaft is not damaged where the seal rides and where the bearing rides. A lot of the time when an axle seal starts to leak it is a sign of the axle bearing being bad.
