It's not really a big job. I did it with the diff in the car, just by removing the CV and the RH side driveshaft from the diff.
But I found that the problem was the RH side on mine was popping out under load. Have a look and see if your driveshaft has popped. If it has, you should be able to move the shaft in and out.
I replaced the oil seal on mine, and the spring clip, but it still popped out under load. I replaced the driveshaft (the replacement one looked identical to the old one so no idea why), but the problem went away.
If you can get the driveshaft out, you should be able to pop the oil seal out with a big screwdriver or a pair of multi-grips.
