Slightly leaking rear wheel seal

The right rear wheel seems to be leaking (inside the parking brake). The seal is greasy, and there's a lot of dirt on the brake parts.

The question is can I replace this seal? There isn't much in the FAQ, but the FAQ says I'll probably need some special tools.

Anyone done this at home?

Thanks,

Adam

I have the same problem on my 87. I have not gotten around to doing anything about it yet, but I think I will probably end up pulling the axle and replacing the bearing and both seals. I really haven't been able to find much information on this subject either but the bentley manuel for 240 has the procedure.
