hey man i just replaced mine. its not hard to actually replace but you gotta undo the balljoints and and all that good stuff.(i'm sure you'll figure it out lol) and i HAD to order the seal from GM it was only like 12 bucks i think. just pry the old one out, put a little extra grease in the new seal just so you know youre not doing this again and reassemble. if you need any help with anything PM me
