I think:

Repeat...

I think:

Unbolt and remove the half shafts.
Remove rear end cover.
Remove yoke clips and remove yokes.
Use a seal puller to remove old seals.

Tap in new seals.
Check yokes for wear and reinstall yokes and clips.
Replace cover with new gasket and new fluid.
Install and bolt in half shaft.

Sound right everyone or did I forget a step?
