Axle seal replacement - Dana 44

Hi All,

Just noticed my left rear axle seal is slowly weeping/leaking gear oil on to the brake drum. Since its considered a safety item in New Zealand, I can't get my six monthly "warrant of fitness" for remaining on the road.

Can anybody point me to what is involved in changing the seal. Also, should I just get the other side done at the same time as well or wait for it to leak later. What about the bearing? Would it need to be changed as well?

Called Jeep dealer and the price of the seal is reasonable. Work will not be done at the dealership.
