FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
Question for the experts.
I have a small leak on my front half shaft. Expy 2006 5.4
It is on the passengers side.
I am doing research prior to attempt replacing the seal. Has anybody replaced this seal ? My leak is right around number 16 on this picture. I know i will p;probably have to remove the brakes, ball joints etc on the passenger side to pull the shaft out.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

To me it looks like you have to remove the whole assembly (#10) from the differential housing. Once off, you need to remove C clip (#2) to be able to slide the axle shaft (#11) out of housing (#10).
Look at that un-numbered piece between #20 and #19, that's the other end of axle shaft #11. They're not showing the whole axle because it would confuse the drawing, so they're just showing each end of it.

Seal
Done. I have replaced the seal yesterday. Not too hard to do , lots of things need to be removed.
The seal is actually number 13 on the picture above.
Advise on this one, you will need to remove the spring. Easy way to do is to unbolt the three 15mm nuts on top of the spring, swing the lower arm with the spring attached downwards lay it flat on the ground here is my picture showing the whole passenger side disassembled.
Look further inside you will see the tube where the shaft goes. Note : The old seal is already removed on this picture.
