If it was just the seal, it would stay in the truck, but the whole diff has to be removed to get to the bearing. Its a PITA to rebuild one IMO. My front diff has ate 3 sets of gears and bearings from the stupid locking tabs letting the spanners back off. It has been sitting on the bench for over a year now because Im tired of throwing money at it.

Heres a thread for the front rebuild..
