I've read a few posts about a similiar issue, but I didn't see any detailed answer on how it was resolved. In my case its the drivers side inner/outer seal. I saw fluid coming out of one of the lug nut holes and once I took the rim off, a decent amount poured onto the floor.

The FSM makes it look like you just remove the axle/brake as an assembly, remove and replace the seal, replace axle assembly. A couple of the threads I saw mentioned an inner and outer seal which need to be replaced. I'm not certain if the FSM procedure covers both or just the outer.

Is it really that simple? Do I need to take the assembly to a shop to have the bearings removed/replaced to get both seals done?
