Seems that the rear seal on the passenger side of my 05 is starting to leak ver slightly.......

How hard is it to replace? I'm your average mechanic........to big of a job? How much should a shop charge?

I did mine on my 04 a while back and it was quite easy. Follow the DIY post and make sure you get the right seals. I didn't even have to drain the diff. Just jack up the one side and top the diff up when you're done.
