axel seals

Well I finally got around to changing those seals. The pinion seal went easy enough. I had trouble getting it out at first but a little heat did the trick. The output shaft seal was a pain though. The mounting bracket for the diff. partially covers the seal so I had to remove the diff. After getting that out I had a heck of a time getting the seal out. Someone had used an adheasive one the old seal so I had to use more heat than I was comfortable with. Once I got it out getting the new one in was pretty difficult as well. I bent the first one a bit so decided not to use that. The second one I beveled a bit and it slid right in. After that assembly was a piee of cake. The whole job took about 10 hours - considerably slower than it should have been and I still have one rear output saft seal to replace
