[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 437104, member: 18789"] I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. To get the old seal out, I stick a large socket right at the size of the inside of the axle tube on a long extension and hammer it until the seal pops out. You’re hammering the seal to the left towards the diff. Seal comes loose and lands in the CAD box. Then you get your new seal up in place with the spring facing the diff. Use all thread with a nut and stacks of stepped up washer sizes to pull the seal in. Go slow. I’m not sure what lip you’re talking about. The star looking thing is a plastic bushing the center axle shaft rides in. There is no bearing in that area unless it’s an 87-90. [/QUOTE]
