Having just done this, I think the easiest option for you would be to take the calliper off, then undo the 7 bolts that hold the swivel ball off, pull it off (watching out for the half shaft), then fit the new seal (plus new gasket) and reassemble.
Taking the swivel apart and then cutting it is a massive pain in the arse. I undid the extra 7 bolts and was easier in my opinion, as I don't want to be going anywhere that bit of the landy again for some time to come. Horrible, oily, greasy job. Avoid that by taking swivel off
Obviously then top up with one shot grease (probably drain first)

Thanks for ur help, im picking the stuff up tomorrow so wish me luck lol
before you pick the stuff up, take a look at the condition of the bolts that hold the swivel housing on, AND the calliper bolts (you'll have to take the brake calliper off too.
The swivel housing bolts are FTC3456
Oil seal to swivel housing gasket : FRC4206
and swivel bal to axle gasket : FTC3646
I can't find calliper bolts code at mo...
those are all assuming you're a 200tdi. If you're older, the part numbers may be different.
oh, and some one shot grease STC3435
Make sure you've got a good 14mm 12 point(!?) spanner for the swivel to axle bolts, and a NEW 12 point 13mm socket for the brake calliper. And some thread lock

You dont NEED new bolts, but mine were in such a state that I reckon a few months more and there won't be any getting them out, so I got new bolts. Take a look and make a decision.
