Rear Diff Shaft Seal advice

Hi everyone,

On my '10 30i (n52) I have a leaking rear differential shaft seal.
This is the seal on the driveshaft side facing forward.

Number 8 in the picture.

Looking at videos and posts it looks like the rear driveshaft can be removed from the center support bearing and slides off the rear diff once the insert nut is loosened. Can anyone confirm this?

I've had a heck of a time finding a service manual for this vehicle. Anyone source a manual similar to Bentley for the e70 X5?

Thanks for any input.
