To replace the seals, the arms/TBs/ARB have to be removed from the beam tube. And, if you're going this far to replace the seals you may as well fit new bearings too. There is a guide kicking about on here.

Best way to service them is to strip them down every so often, depending on mileage. Now that 205 beam tubes are getting thin on the ground, us 205 owners are getting used to stripping the beams down every couple of years. If the beam has been put together well with plenty of grease, pulling them to pieces is a doodle.
It's the initial rebuild that's a pain in the arse with seized end plates and Torsion bars, usually requiring a hydraulic press.
