tranny leak issues Options

[turbohcar]

I've got a leaky passenger side axle shaft seal. Now, how hard is this to replace? I had little to no time to do it tonight and was wanting to tackle it tomorrow after work when I have the part. I've never had problems with this before but apparently this is the problem. I tried to pry on it a little with no results and was afraid to accidentally cause more damage to the transmission than what is already wrong. Marcus, I'm going to guess you've probably had experience with this, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Ok, I've already done all but number 5. The front axles were replaced last year and are still in great condition. I was more concerned with the seal itself as it feels like it's hardened and I was a little pretentious to really pry on it and screw something else up that may delay my project more. I've done quite a few motor swaps before in these cars so steps 1-4 were small potatoes but don't feel bad, they were excellent directions for someone who may see this thread and be wondering how the axle dissasembles from the transmission. The seal doesn't look "trashed" as you say, just harder than a rubber grommet seal generally should. I just wanted to know if there was a trick to getting it out without screwing other things up and if there were any precautions I should be concerned with before jumping into it.
