I have replaced stub axle seals in an ERA with standard rear and optional rear while in the car. If doing only one side I would definitely leave it in the car. If doing both sides on a standard rear I might pull it but probably not. The optional rear is easier to gain access to the stub axles.

If you are interested in doing the repair in the car let me know and I can write up the details from memory. Which rear do you have? I assume you are replacing the stub axle seal and O ring?

There is enough room to remove the half shaft bolts and then swing the hub down. That allows you access to the stub axle bolts. About a 2 hour job per side in the car.
