In the event that the inner axle shaft seal was renewed recently, and if it is not the intention to renew the oil seal at this reconditioning, care must be exercised to prevent damaging the seal. The axle shaft must be slid out completely by lifting slightly while removing, as shown in Egure 3. Be careful not to damage the seal by pulling the rough shaft across the seal.
Do not allow the shaft to remain partially pulled out of the housing as the weight of the shaft on the lower part of the seal will stretch and deform the seal. This will result in oil leaks occurring when the shaft is installed.
Always completely remove axle shafts.
11. Remove the inner axle shaft oil seal, using tool J-943-B, as shown in figure 4. The only tool that worked for me was my framing hammer with a super-long, straight claw. Three bumps and the seal was out. See front and back of seal after removal.
