front axle seal???

[Pilgrim]

Anyone have any help with front axle seal replacement? Had it done 3 times at dealer ($300) and always leaks within a year again. Takes them just over an hour, but looks difficult to me. Started to do it myself but am puzzled. Very different than anything I've worked on before. Any help? Pilgrim

just had the front axle seal replace by my mechanic at 32k miles and 5 years. it was leaking and I dont have the skills to fix it.
this was the first time he (or the dealer) mentioned it,so i assume it was recent.
he charged me about $200.
