-remove the exhaust center section or main converter and pipe.
-then remove the underbody heatshield
-remove the driveshaft
-using a seal puller, remove the seal from the trans.
-clean the seal mating surface on the tailshaft
-lube the new seal's outer metal ring with a small amount of trans oil or grease
-using a seal driver or large enough socket or other trusted tool or device, drive the new seal into the tailshaft
-reinstall the driveshaft, heatshield, exhaust, and install new exhaust gaskets.

also drain the oil from the tranny before you remove the drive shaft.
