i have to change a rear end seal.  any tips?  anything else I should consider changing/upgrading while i'm in there?

thanks.

Put a little grease on the seal lip so it "sets" without over heating.  That will assure a good long lasting seal.

Use a proper seal driver to get it into the housing straight

Pack the back of the seal where the spring is with grease so it doesn't fly out when you bang the seal in.

Do as best you can at repacking the axle bearings.
