Yes, it's the 1803A ambulance axle. When I get new bearings, I'll put in new seals facing with the open side toward the carrier. But I will still have the issue with the springs coming off when being tapped. I'll try some masking tape to hold the spring, or search for a seal of the same dimensions that closed on each side (as I think it should be).

Perhaps that spring is not needed or should be removed. I'll inquire at NAPA.

At the moment dealing with shift/clutch issue.
