F20 120d LCI Rear diff output seal

Hi,
Has anyone got a how to guide or video to replace the differential output shaft seal on the rear of a F20 2016 LCI 120d?

Ive seen various videos but they show the ones where the bolts that secure the driveshaft to the flange being visible, the ones on mine are not so thinking that it can't be separated (and so the entire suspension needs to be disconnected to pull the lot out in one) or the bolts are concealed within the rubber cv boot.

It's on the drivers side (RH drive car).

It's not leaking bad, just weeping, only done 37k miles and had new fluid at 30k!
