Front inner axle seal replacement
Here are some pictures of the seals.The passenger side was leaking but I changed both sides.Not too bad besides trying to get the damn seals in straight.Had to modify my homemade seal tool toooooo many times.
With the help of Jason's(mechelement) great advise it went pretty well besides the seeal installation.I covered the carrier in ice after I got it out.Went right back in.

I will make one similar to this when the time comes to install the seals myself. It will push them straight into the housing.
Here is the text from my Ford dvd manual: "Place the axle shaft oil seals onto the tool, and position the assembly into the differential housing. Lengthen the tool as necessary until both seals start evenly in the axle tubes. Continue to lengthen the tool until both step plates bottom out against the housing."
Sounds simple, doesn't it. lol

For model 50 axles, use special tools 205-428, 205-425 (LH), and 205-424 (RH) to install the axle shaft oil seals.
For model 60 axles, use special tools 205-428, 205-427 (LH), and 205-426 (RH) to install the axle shaft oil seals
From my manual. 205-424,425,426,427 are the stepped plates for the seals. 205-428 is the threaded bar.
