I've done this a few times, I think the hardest part of the job is =
getting the old seal out.  Pick your favorite method, but I've settled =
on using a tool I bought from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago which =
has worked well as a seal puller.

=20

Basic steps:

=20

1) Unbolt driveshaft

2) Remove cotter pin from pinion castle nut=20

3) Hold flange (I bolt on a piece of angle iron to hold the flange =
steady, and remove the castle nut.

4) Pull the old seal.

=20

The attached picture shows what I use, the hook catches the edge of the =
seal and I hit the puller with a hammer to jar the seal loose. =20

=20

5) Inspect the flange seal surface, and if its badly ridged consider =
putting on a repair sleeve (99149 National, SKF or KWK99149 Timken)

6) Smear the new seal with something appropriate (I've used Permatex 2), =
and drive the new seal back in using a large pipe or socket. =20

7  Install the flange and castle nut with new cotter pin.  Since there =
is no collapsible spacer to worry about, the flange just gets torqued =
back to factory settings (I think the factory manual says 85-100 ftlbs )

Mine leaks a lot and I=E2=80=99d like to at least slow it down.
