Any decent mechanic will already know what to do to change a pinion seal....don't insult the guy.
The only problem you may find with the spark plus is that if the last person over tightened the nuts on the sparkplug, when you go to un-do the wire, the whole spark plug may turn. You then have to undo the wire at the cap, then turn the wire and spark plug together to remove the plug.
There is a special wrench for undoing the nuts on the wires, but it can be done with a regular 3/4 wrench just fine. You will require a 1/2" drive 13/16 deep socket to remove the plugs.
Lots of places for parts, but the key for me has been to hoard, hoard hoard.
Lots of Jeep guys around on both sides of the border, and ebay will usually work out as well. Brian Asbury, in your neck of the woods, is usually competitive. I use John Bizal at Midwestern military in the US, and often QTR parts on ebay have favorable prices.
