first be sure you’re on level ground and re-check your oil level against the mark on the case, lots of times people don’t drain all three plugs, then pour what should be the correct amount in, then find they are over full and leaking. If not, inner seal is easy, drain all three plugs, for the right side, remove the four nuts, pull axle housing, remove shoes, remove 4 bolts holding backing plate/bearing holder, then you can access seal.(double check axle for groove in case a “speedy sleeve” is needed. It’s a good time to take a couple cans of parts cleaner and wash all the crud out of the case bottom while you can see better. The left side is the same except for removing the clutch rod that passes through the axle housing.
The outer seal (which is more of a dirt seal as the outer bearing is sealed on the outside)
Is a real pain, you have to pull the brake drum, which can be a joy all unto itself, pull axle, remove bearing sleeve, outer bearing, then you can get to the seal. I really wouldn’t go through all this unless the bearing has play or making noise as no oil will get that far out, it will all leak through the brake housing area. Hopefully all that makes sense, if not, give me a yell
