$10-15 part

4-bolts on the driveshaft. Slide it off, replace the seal, slide driveshaft back on. Tighten bolts.


It's not a difficult repair, but if you don't feel confident enough let someone do it for you. Buy the seal yourself from ford and bring it to a mechanic. SHouldn't take more than an hour really with a lift and air tools.
