Umm, if you plan on replacing the seal the correct way, you'll need a new crush collar (or solid collar with shims) and reset the pinion after you replace the seal....
To remove it, just tap it out from the inside of the housing after you remove the diff and pinion....
To install it, just tap it in place with a mallet....
If you want to replace the seal without opening everything up, you could mark the nut position, count the number of turns it takes to remove it, pry the seal out with a screwdriver, tap the new one in place, then tighten the nut with the same amount of turns it took to remove it, but I wouldn't recommend it....

You can definitely do this bottom method if you're just replacing the seal. I did it on mine ~2 years ago and it hasn't leaked or caused any noise or anything since.
