It's very easy.
Remove the brake lines from the back of the brake drums. Brake fluid will begin to pour out, but in a pinch I used a small jewelers screwdriver wrapped in duct tape to plug the hole. Worked like a charm.

Pull the axle shaft out of the housing. Be careful not to allow the shaft to rest on the oil seal inside the housing, as you will deform it and have to replace it.
Go to the parts store and pick a package of assorted rubber vacuum plugs, These work great for sealing the brake lines.

I always change the axle seals every time I pull the axles, cheap insurance. Also I only use OEM seals!!!!
