So, a search of the 10,807 messages I still keep on my machine (Yes, really.) 
indicated that I asked the same questions in 2009.  

In 9 years has anything changed?  Are there new seals that are the bees knees?  
I donâ??t think that I need new bearings as the miles are low enough.

Just to be sure I need to:

Undo the retaining screw

Lever the axle out and free of the hub

Undo lock washer

Undo hub nut

Jury rig a device to pull hub 

Pull out seal

Install new seal

Reinstall hub, lock washer,nut  (Any tips welcome, all the video shows work 
with rear end removed from car.)

Install new â??Oâ?? ring

Install new paper gasket 

Install axle

Congratulate myself on a job well done?
