I agree with Kube, by using a micrometer and replacing the banjo gaskets with exactly the thickness that was there, it doesn't take all that long if you have a good spring spreader. Granted, I have the KRW tools to achieve this which helps, but a home made tool could quickly be made to install the new seal. The old seal knock out easily toward the large end of the axle housing.

When I started working on cars at age 12, I thought that gear oil was there to lube the roller bearings on my 1930 Model A!!

Fourspeed, it is in there where you can't see very well, maybe 4 or 5 inches.
