While I haven't done it...this is how I think it's done???

Remove the wheel/tire assembly.
Remove brake caliper/rotor/etc.
Remove four bolts/retainer plate which hold the axle/bearing/seal.
Slide axle out.
Destroy seal/bearing to remove.
Install new axle/bearing/seal assembly "kit" (How much of a PITA this is, IDK??)
Re-install the four bolts/plate.
Re-install braking system.
Re-install wheel/tire assembly.
Install Axle Vent Mod

Top off diff fluid.

Someone correct if that is wrong somewhere.
