Replacing the Drive Pinion Seal?

Replacing the Drive Pinion Seal?
My rear end is leaking from where the driveshaft meets the differential housing, so I bought a new drive pinion seal, and before I go running head first into the job I would like to know if there is are any tricks or anything I should know before tackling it.
Do I need parts other than the drive pinion seal?
How do I pull the drive shaft out to get at the old seal?
Is this going to be a monumental job or should it be fairly easy and straight forward?

why? Shouldn't I just be bale to remove the drive shaft, pull the seal and replace it all?
Even the parts list shows the seal as being pulled out from the "front" of the rear end.
Sorry about the different account, a long time ago I asked to have some accounts merged so I didnt have to use facebook to login, but no one ever did it.

Uhm------BEFORE YOU START MOVING ANYTHING, you need to mark the driveshaft to the yoke, the nut location on the pinion shaft. The preload is critical, but the only thing you need to do, is tighten the yoke down EXACTLY to the same position it was in when you removed it, or you get a new crush washer, and an expensive inch pound torque wrench and tighten it to the specs in the service manual. Its a simple job, but it has to be done right, or it will fail.

I think I'll try and tackel this today if it doesn't rain.
