Replacing Rear differential gasket

My read differential is leaking oil at the bottom of the differential cover and i was wondering if its easy to replace that gasket? The sway bar is kinda in the way but it looks like i could work around it and relpace the gasket?

Thanks

It's easy a piece of cake.
Nothing in the way.
The fun part is putting the fluid back in and not getting it on you.
I hate diff fluid on me smells bad feels bad too.
It's 20 foot pounds for the bolts on the diff cover.

It tastes even worse than it smells. Use some RTV.
