I saw a 3rd gen today at a muffler shop that had a lower ball joint fail on it, unfortunately the body took a beating from the tire flying off.

The rear axle seal is part of the rear axle housing so how do you have to destroy anything on the axle shaft to replace the seal? Maybe you're thinking of the rear wheel bearing, but they make tools to press off/on all the components on the axle shaft.
