Pinion Seal, relatively easy to replace.
Drop the drive shaft, remove the u-joint yoke and remove old the seal.
Take the new seal, apply a thin coat of grease on the seal lip and a thin coat of sealer on the OD of the seal and install.
Check the yoke for wear or damage (nicks, scratches, etc) replace if needed (Bronco Graveyard has them).
Put some sealer on the splines of the pinion and yoke. Reinstall the yoke and put the nut on. Tighten the nut. DON'T overtighten the nut and absolutley DO NOT use an impact to tighten. If you do, this will change the pinion bearing preload and to reset it you will have to change the crush sleeve inside.
Then reinstall the drive shaft.
Check the oil level, add if needed.
Done
