Your local auto parts store should have available a seal removal tool for your application. The right tool makes the job easy and problem free.

You should be able to easily pry the old seal out with a cats paw or something similar. Just be carful not to scratch the bore. to get the new ones in, just use the correct size 1/2 drive socket with an extension and it'll go right in. If you're as nuts as me, put a very thin amount of silicone on the outside of the seal and in the bore where the seal will end up.
Good luck.

Put grease on the lip spring of the new seal helps keep it from popping off while installing
