The guide is for a pinion shaft seal. If it is an output shaft seal leaking then its easier to fix.
Just unbolt the drive shaft from the back of the hub and swing it clear.
Use a tyre lever / pair of LARGE screwdrivers etc to pop the drive shaft out of the diff (its held in with a spring ring)
Prise out the old seal and fit the new one.
Reassembly is the reverse etc etc.
