Rear Seal Change

How hard is it to replace the rear seal on my 2010 F-150 Automatic.
I have a small leak at 88,000 Miles.

Lift vehicle.
Use supports.
Clean area around the extension housing.
Mark drive shaft in relation to differential.
Remove drive shaft. ( some fluid will dribble )
Remove seal.
Clean seal area.
Apply sealant to the exterior metal surface of the new seal.
Apply grease to the rubber seal area.
Tap it in.
Check ujoints.
Clean yoke.
Replace drive shaft.
Remove supports.
Lower vehicle.

Rear Seal

Thanks - I appreciate the help.
Will the seal pop out if I carefully pry it out with a screw driver. Moving from one side of the seal and then the other side?

Note the design here, and just watch yourself with the screwdriver or other tool so you don't ruin anything.

Just use a screwdriver tapping side side.

With a hammer.
