Job is fairly easy to do.
I got lazy and did it on the ground with out lifting the rear wheels.
Some advice that wasn't stated above:
-I took the seal to the hardware store and found a PVC plumbing fitting that was the right size to help drive it in.
- I needed a 11mm box or crow's foot for the rear bolts. A socket is too large and I had clearance issues.
-Tape the u-joint with masking tape to keep the bearings together. If they drop you're not gonna have a good time.
