Either way. I prefer to drop the valve body, replace the TWO seals, 
replace the tranny fluid and filter, and have the whole job done.

Other guys pry the outer seal out and replace it without dropping the 
valve body. I don't feel that gives as much control over checking 
everything out, but .....

Pretty easy job to drop the valve body. Hardest part is pulling or 
pounding the new outer seal into its seat. You can make a "puller", or 
with some help tap it into place from up in the engine compartment.
