Tranny tail shaft seal removal

I'm finishing up the work on my transmission today. One of the things Frank (spritenut) mentioned was that it's a good idea to replace the tail shaft seal while the transmission is out. I want to make sure I'm looking at the right piece.

Replace the tail shaft seal just because it's easy when the tranny is out of the car. It is crimped on, a cut off wheel will slice it in half or beat it off with a dull screw driver. Dimple the new one back in 3 places with a dull screw driver.

Here's the piece I think he's talking about (note red arrow):

Is this the piece in question? Any other things I need to know before I tackle this?
 
Also, I'm assuming I just replace Moss #120-920, listed as the "oil seal, rear"
