Import car parts website or ring them. You need a special tool to do the job or fabricate one. The seals are very cheap but they are sided.(passenger/drivers). I fabricated my tool from an old clutch bearing, welded 2 tabs 180 degrees from each other and welded an old socket to it. Fits over the driveshaft spline perfectly.

Upto you mate but I'd do both or at least buy the seals at the same time. Also there's a large O ring on each of the front diff plates they're around a quid each. Also mark the notch on the diff plate's retainer and count how many turns it take to remove the plate and make a note of it so you can set it exact when you refit it.
