If I remember right remove the frt wheel bearings remove both frt axle shafts, they will just pull out. Remove diff cover and differential, drive both seals out and reinstall. Need a long seal driver as the need to be driven from the opposing side into the frt axle case. Sometimes you will need to "spread" case to remove diff, only used it once had to borrow from a friend at the dodge dealer. Hope that helps. Might as well do both seals and u joints as you are going that far at least do both seals they are cheap and kinda a pain in the @$$!
