Front diff seal

My front differential is leaking. Are there any special Ford tools required to replace the seal? Or is it simply bolt (and fluid) removal, seal replacement, fill with new fluid. Any tips or heads-up on this?
Thank you

To be honest, I'm not sure where the leak is coming from; I thought it was just from the diff cover. To be sure I guess I should clean it up and then see where the leak is coming from...
