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

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.

It's not hard at all if you're just a little bit mechanically inclined

I am very mechanically inclined. But I do Hondas and German cars. This is my landscapers truck. Do I need a special tool to remove the seal and install a new one? Can I do it with basic tools without damaging the seal? Thank you!

Edit: Just saw the link. thank you! but thats a ford

I am mechanically declined and I was able to do it. Also, the truck was on ramps.

I'll see myself out.

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).
