The only thing that you might not be aware of (as it is a straight forward job) is after removing the driveshaft you will want to mark the pinion yoke shaft, nut and washer with a straight line to insure it is in the right spot when reinstalling. You'll also want to count the number of threads that are visible on the shaft before removing the nut. This is so when you reinstall it, it won't be too lose or too tight causing whining or premature failure. You'll tighten it down to the point where your marks line up, double check the exposed thread count and if they're right, just tighten it ever so slightly past your marks and then reinstall your driveshaft making sure the u joint is properly seated and you're good to go. Don't forget to make sure you clean the seal seat thoroughly before replacing it and if you need to use a hammer, use a rubber mallet instead! A cheap seal puller and driver kit will make quick work of it.
