you take the tail shaft off of course and remove the pinion nut
count the number of turns it takes to remove the nut , as you will put it on the same number of times

pull pinion flange off and remove seal

check the pinion flange for wear where the seal runs as you may need a speedy sleave or a new flange or even a quick sand smooth

knock new seal in and fit pinion with grease on the seal and seal surface area on the flange

fit nut with locktight and do up ,lock the the nut back in the pinion shaft groove to n check oil level

or take it to a mechanic and he will have it done quicker than you can
