The rear seal (where the driveshaft connects) of my front diff is leaking on my 95. Has anyone replaced this before? Are any special tools needed? Thanks

Sounds like your front pinon seal. I've never done it on an explorer, but I've done it on other vehicles. Remove your driveshaft and the pinon nut. A gear puller is pretty much essential to remove the seal. Be sure to grease the new seal before you put it in. You'll probably also want to drain your front diff before you do it.
I noticed that one of my axle shaft seals on the front diff of my '93 limited appeared to be leaking because the pumpkin was getting greasy. A couple of ounces of brake fluid poured into the front diff seemed to swell that seal right up! In the grand scheme, I couldn't see it doing any harm.
