If you don't have an LSD then you don't want to be touching the side cover. Flange seals are very easy to replace and they are done from the outside.
If you have an LSD and want to check/inspect, then its fairly straightforward after removing the side cover. If its an LSD check breakaway torque first. If it has some (its a very low test value) then the LSD is likely to be fine and not to be touched.

Burning Brakes
With one flange locked and torqueing on the allen screw of the other drive flange, the breakaway torque new/refurbished is only 10-35Nm.
Remember that this is for a brand new/serviced LSD. The breakaway torque can be even less than that for a used LSD and still be working just as it should. Breakaway torque has nothing to do with the LSD's locking capability, only that the clutch pack has some pre-load on it.
