anywhere between 'not too bad' to a 'real mother'. depends on getting the sealed bearing assy out in one piece. see the tech article on pavement sucks here..

The seal is inside the axle tube housing, you have to remove the axle and maybe the carrier assy too. there a long seal installer tool you will need.

You have to remove the axle? WTH? Are you kidding me? Deffenitially don't, its really as simple as the Pavement sucks write up, and you don't need any fancy tools. Just some creativity.

Since i don't use the right wording axle vs axle shaft, I guess and telling you tools that you may need and advise, I will be logging off your forum and my 20 years of dodge trainning and 35s year overall. Good luck to you all.
