Remove wheel , caliper , rotor , hub/ unit bearing , axle shaft , vacuum motor . The seal is inside the disconnect housing , not easy to get it in straight without having to "create" some sort of tool / device to draw the seal into it's bore.

Yeah it pushes into the vacum setup. Pop it out with a pry bar.
To re install
Take your 36mm socket
Place seal on the socket and slide them into the vacum housing
Take a pry bar and pry on the center of the 36mm socket, slowly pressing the seal into the axle tube.
