you don't have to drop the axle to change it, they can be kind of a pain to get out and in. If you have a socket that is the same size as the seal that will help get it back in. Be careful because the housing right there can scare easily. You don't want to put a scare in it or it will never seal

Buy a seal puller. It makes the job a heck of a lot easier. To drive the seal into place I used a metal working hammer. Still in place, and no leak. As far as disassembly, I just cracked the axle nut and the pinch bolt for the knuckle, removed the brake caliper, rotor and pulse sensor, popped the CV out w/ a pry bar and you're good to go. I've done this one twice, once on both sides. Took me about an hour and a half each side.
