Bahhh! Just pull the 4 dl bolts. Count threads on the pinion nut/pinion. Pull the pinion nut. Place a drain pan under pinion. Pull out flange. Inspect flange sealing surface. Scotchbrite it. Pull old seal. Tap in new seal. IF possible, tap it in a little father than the old one was seated. Lube up new seal lip with some oil. Smear a little rtv on splines of flange. Stab the thing back in there making sure you didnt wreck the lip seal. Tighten your nut to where it was. Stake it if it stakes. I’d probably use a little blue loctite on it as well. DL bolts-loctite. Check oil lvl. Go see if it leaks.
Don’t overthink this. Easy fix - provided your flange doesn’t wobble (pinion bearings bad) and the sealing surface isn’t too bad. Take some pictures of the flange sealing surface for us if you have concerns
Seals do wear out.
