Left and right axle drive seals have same part number: 52069706
Those axle shafts are not held in the diff with c-clips like the rear. They're held in by a little snap ring, and removal of the diff cover is not required to remove either shaft. Once you get the front hub unbolted from the shaft and the hub out of the way, you should be able to remove the axle shaft from the diff with a firm tug straight out. After the shaft is out of the way, seal replacement is easy.
Good luck.

Yo dude. You might lose some diff fluid when you pull that shaft. Jus jack the side your working on higher than the other and you'll be fine.
