Buy an axle seal kit. There are 4 bolts that hold the seal housing and the
backing plate on. remove those 4 bolts. Pound the oil seal out of the
housing and install the new one, you will need a pipe or socket that is the
same circumference as the seal so you seat it evenly. remove the race that
is around the axle, there is a spacer and o-ring that needs replaced as
well. From what I remember there is an o-ring that slides over the bearing
and a paper gasket for the main seal housing as well. It all comes in the
kit.
