[DML] Axel seal replacement tricks

["ksgrimsr" <knut.s.grimsrud@xxxxxxxxx>]

With the holiday break coming up I have some time to fix an anoyance 
I have had for some time. After 170K miles on my car, my manual 
transmission axel seal is starting to weep a little on the one side. 
It's not a big problem as I have less than a drop a day, but I am a 
neat-freak with my garage and I cann't stand to have any drips on my 
floor (and it also makes a mess of the tranny as all the road dust 
sticks and makes a nice goo).

The seal in question that I need to replace is item #25 in section 
4.1.1 of the parts manual (part number 103013).

I thought I noticed someone mentioning some time back that there is 
a trick to replacing this seal. If someone has experience and advice 
on this procedure I would appreciate it.
