    I replaced both seals. FYI: they’re not the same for both sides. I used a 2” PVC coupling to push them in evenly and without messing them up. Lightly tapping with a rubber mallet on the coupling worked great.
    As far as getting the axles back in the diff, haven’t done that yet but everything I’ve read says to take your time, if it won’t go in rotate it a bit and try again. Having the c-clip facing down supposedly helps. I’ll post back with my findings to help others in the future.
