I have done the rear locker seals in my 1200. I made a dolly on wheels to put my jack stands on. With a couple of well place straps the half of the axle just slid out from under the truck, I changed the seals and slid it right back in. If you get the axle well supported it is just a matter of undoing the bolts around the diff and pulling. You want to make sure the axle is supported so it dose not shift, otherwise it will be hard to line it back up.

I did the job in about 6 hours, working by my self in the garage. The only thing I needed help with was bleeding the brakes.
