How hard are these to replace? Does the QX4 have an inner and outer axle seal?

I believe its the outer seal on the front passenger side. Its slinging oil up on the downpipe mostly when I turn hard left and the smell is getting annoying and its progressively getting worse. Only parts I see online are outer seals.

This is for the front passenger side. I checked the front diagram, but it made no mention of axle seals.

My apologies, it was late and my reading comprehension was obviously failing.

Check 400 Front Axle and 381 Front Final Drive exploded parts views.
