LR do a "one shot" grease pack to replace the oil. Once you have replaced the damaged seal refill with the grease.

You dismantle from swivel-housing - to - axle flange using closed end of a 14mm combination spanner. I'd replace the larger wiper oil seal while you're there.
Take a look at Axles & Diffs section on Ottos site on this job:

Hola DISCOFRODO thank you for your technical response. (HALDEN.NET) it inserts favorites, the problem in swpin housing rectifies it installing a pipe of breather between the filler plug and atmosphere three feet over the axle, to not breathe it pushes the oil towards diffs (in wait of changing seal oil)
