Replacing front pinion seal

Replacing front pinion seal
My front diff is leaking around the driveshaft area. I am assuming it is the pinion seal. I read some stuff on here on how to replace the seal itself. But to get to that seal is what I am a little confused on. Do I just need to take off those 6 bolts that hold the driveshaft on and it will drop down allowing me access to the pinion seal?

Which seal, the side of the diff or the rear. Either way you have to remove either the driveshaft or the CV axle, then remove the pinion nut, remove the pinion and then you can get to the seal.

It's the one of the side of the diff. But what I am asking is, to get to that do I just undo those 6 bolts and the driveshaft will simply drop down allowing me enough room to replace the seal?

Give it a try with just unbolting the axle first, but that's what I had to do on mine.
