I think the steering arm cover is below the oil level, so you should drain the hub first. Other than that its easy, just 4 bolts and it pops off. This also gives you a good chance to inspect the lock washer tabs on the spindle. If its not the cover leaking then the next thing I would expect is...
First thing I noticed is that the passengers side rear tire is almost flat, I"m guessing they didn't get the sealing ring seated right or something is wrong with that tire.
Pretty sure this is the truck

Some of the bolts are in a hard to reach space, I think its the drivers side ones. Works better if you have someone in the cab to hold the bolt still while you remove the nut from underneath. I removed the engine cover and could get at the front ones that way also.

I think having an operational and accurate temp gauge is very important. One time I was running mine and randomly looked at the gauge and it was pegged hot. Turns out that the clutch fan relay decided to stop working so the fan wasn't coming on to cool the engine at all. Immediately shut it down...
When I did mine it wasn't actually that bad, the rivets they used for the drivers seat base are aluminum and the die grinder with a decently abrasive disk went through them like butter.
I used 2 magnetic dealer plate mounts and an LED license plate bracket with a resistor inline to bring down the voltage so it didnt burn out. Ran the power wire to the marker light on that side. Did the same thing to the front minus the light. The magnets are pretty strong and I can take the...
