Default Rear Axle

I have a 2004 Ram 1500. Can anybody tell me how difficult it is to replace a Rear Axle seal? And does it require any special tools. Any tips.

Yes a special tool is required, Probably be rented from auto parts store though. 1 to 10, 10 being most difficult it is about a 4 IMHO.

What is the tool called? I am mechanically inclined for normal repairs. Specialty tools are something I have access to but do not own.

Look in my signature and click on the link for the Service Manuals. Get the one for your truck and download it. In it, it will cover everything you need and more.
