    You will have to take the rear housing off. It's a bit tricky but as long as you take the centring springs for the shift out you should be right, just turn it around until is slides over the three rods. All this is assuming you have the box out of course.

    Ive replaced it on car a couple of times now.

    -Remove tailshaft
    -Remove the dust cap/guard (can be wriggles off by hand or may require a few taps with a hammer)
    -Get a small screw flat head screw driver and tap it inbetween the housing and the seal but in a downward direction (if hammering from the top, otherwise in an upward direction from the bottom) to avoid damaging the housing.
    -Once old seal is deformed enough it should be able to be pried out
    -coat new seal before installation with fresh oil, then press it into place(may require taps with a hammer using a flat surface on the entire seal)
    -tap dust guard back into place, then reinstall tailshaft.
