Rear pinion seal leaking

[indianajoel]

I changed my diff oil this weekend but my pinion seal is leaking. I wonder, do you guys usually find a bad bearing when there's a bad oil seal?

If so, can I pull the bearing out the front of the diff (after I pull out the seal) or do I have to remove the cover and take the whole thing apart?

Thanks.

I didn't see any info on this in my Haynes book.
