I don’t drive fast , unless you think three hours at 55 mph is fast :-)
I do work it on logging roads.
Let’s see if the seal will work. I have full gasket set for trans.

For just replacing the seal it can be gently levered out and a proper sized sleeve can be used to press or tap the new on in place. For the diff lock let it leak. These often seize up due to non use and the aluminum reacting wit the steel push rod. The leak helps.
