Hi there,

No special tools, just pry out the old seal place the new seal in square and tap home, just smear a little oil on the seal surface so it not running dry when it starts. if it still has the dust shield ( a Long tube fitted over the rear of the gear box where the seal is, this just taps of and on as well.
