wheel seal on a 3.27 posi

wheel seal is leaking on my right side. i'd like to repair it before things get worse. i know you may need special tools to dig into a posi rear end. what all would i need to do? how difficult is it?

Summit has the wheel seals for the 9-bolt rear (right & left). You may as well relace the bearing because you will in most cases damage them to replace the seal. With the 9-bolt you do not need to open up the internals, NO "C" clips on the axle shafts.

ok cool. so that sticky up top will pretty much explain it then? i was reading through it and it seems like it may be pretty difficult.
