Once every 30 years or so should do it.
I generally replace the seal when ever I attempt to repair/rebuild
a tranny. So now I have a pile of trannys that don't work but they all 
have new seals ;)
I have never seen one leak,  I have dented a few pulling trannys that 
hit the floor before they come out, so I replace the seal.
You have to cut (dremel or grinder) the 3 bent in tabs on the old seal 
to remove it. The new seal goes on and you have to ping in the 3 spots 
with a suitable service tool (aka big screwdriver and hammer)
