Remove hubs/spindles/axleshafts/diff cover/differential. Pop old seals out, pull new ones in*.
Installing the new seals is the difficult part. Best to have a seal driving bushing you can pass allthread through and use a simple washer/nut or hollow enerpac ram to pull the seals into place. Might have luck getting a helper to hold the end of a rod onto position on the driver bushing and tapping it in from the opposite side too.
Very easy to get the seals installed cocked or mess one up if you try pounding them in from inside the differential.
