Can I change the seal that goes from the transmission to the drive shaft in my driveway?

[Cinikal]

Can I do this in my driveway? 2005 4.7L rear wheel drive. Do I need special tools? Is there a video someone knows of doing this as I seem to find nothing making me believe that it is not a driveway job. Any insight on the task at hand? Thank you.

Screwdriver. A block of wood and a hammer for reinstall.

Real easy to do. Ironically it's the same output seal old school 904's & 727's use (yes, 46RE and RH's too lol).
