half shaft seals
I had a minor oil leak around the driver side rear wheel, but I conveniently ignored it for a long time until it stopped eventually. (probably the oil dropped below a certain level, that's why 
) Because of an unrelated issue (speedo) now I have the rear differential opened up and the tires are off.
How difficult would be to replace the half shaft seals? What else (bearings?) might need to be replaced? Does this work require special, or power tools? Pressed on bearings and such are obviously beyond my capabilities. The leak itself wasn't bad enough to warrant this work, and even though the oil level might have been a little low, there was still quite a bit of oil in the rear axle.
Car: '95 Bronco with 150k on it; stock suspension.
TIA
