Rear axle seal replacement how too

[weatherm]

I have searched but couldn't find anything.

I'm assuming the whole axle has to come out and all that jazz.

Has someone made a rear axle seal (one by the brakes... my terminology might be off but thats what I'm talking about) how to.. w/ pictures??

Yes the entire axle shaft will need to come out. It is not that difficult of a job if you follow the instructions in the FSM. You may want to consider replacing the bearings since you are already there. Our club made a video of the procedure to replace rear axle bearings and the seal removal and install is part of the video. You may find it helpful or at least entertaining...
