[QUOTE="mikauai, post: 437260, member: 20781"] Built the "special tool" from the video. Washers moved around and kept pulling the seal in cockeyed. Messed up one seal in the process. Bought the 6764A seal installer kit from Amazon for the end to use with the tool. Went slow, as advised. Snugged nut from CAD end and held double nut at end of rod ... pushed in better than trying to pull it from knuckle end. Had to loosen the nut at CAD once to angle rod when it started to pull the seal in unevenly. Re-centered rod and nut once seal was even and slowly tightened, checking that it went it even. Once the seal bedded, the pressure released, and I tightened until it felt fully embedded. Removed the nut, washer and puller to check that the seal was behind the groove in the axle seat. Couldn't have done it without the seal tool. Another tip was much appreciated, angle the inner axle up to get splines into the differential. Thanks for your help.[ATTACH type="full"]120925[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120926[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120927[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120928[/ATTACH]Back together, have to get some hose to fill the axle with oil, no room to get the oil bottle in there.
