Change o'ring front diff

It is the oring near the U-joint.
I am trying to remove the u-joint with the fixed yoke joint but I cant remove it.
All the drive line need to remove?

there’s no oring . Are you referring to the shaft seal ?
loosen the diff bolts , take out the driveshaft bolt that holds the drive shaft to the yoke and pull them apart. You’ll need a seal puller tool to get the seal out . Press the new one in . You MUST replace the wear ring on the driveshaft if you replace the seal !!! Wiggle the driveshaft out of the sxs. Cut off wear ring with a dremel cut off wheel . Put the driveshaft in a freezer overnight . Heat the new wear ring with a torch until it’s red hot , pull the driveshaft out of the freezer and quickly pick the wear ring up with pliers and seat it all the way down on the driveshaft as a hard and fast as you can . Grease new seal and the wear ring before reinstalling so they slide together .
Finally I unbolted the diff and moved it forward.
Today I received my oil seal
Next steps put everything together.
Some advice to put it easily ?

grease/oil on the seal and yoke when you put it together . Slide it in carefully so you don’t nick the new seal
