So your seals are leaking, and they need to be changed out.

Do one side at a time.
Start by ether draining the oil or tipping the car to one side to lessen the mess.

1) remove the 3/8-24 nyloc nuts these can be reused, torque= 30 ft.lbs. on install

2) use the jack holes in the side covers to remove the cover. ( these are 5/16-18 thread, blow out any sand that may be in these holes, use a side to side removal attack on the side cover so as to remove squarely.

3) once side cover is removed use a small flat tip screw driver to remove the spiro-lox that retains the drive flange.

4) use a press or a dead shot hammer to remove the drive flange.

5) remove, clean all parts and replace the seal ( always press on the outer edge of the seal to install.) Parts can be obtained threw Mendeola or outside vendors

6) Install in reverse manner. by now you should have the idea dont forget the oil.

Warning! the length of the CV bolts after boot flange, CV, washers, needs to be no more than .400" sticking out.If they are to long you run the risk of damaging the seal.

ANY questions?
