Illustration Section 40, Page 2 ~ Exploded view of all the Dana 60 rear axle internal parts.
The inner rear axle seal basic part number is 1175
Gaining access to this seal is not a fun nor EZ job, it's a PITA. If you don't know how, take it to a shop.

Is this a rear or front? The rears I worked on only had wheel seals and the fronts had the inner seals. they aren't too bad, but don't do it unless they are leaking. Don't just do it cause you have a saturday to work on your truck.

Look at the pic Mike posted (pdf link) in post 4. The Dana 60 inner rear axle seals [# 1175] are a PITA to get to.
These are not called wheel seals. I've never heard or seen any such thing on any Dana 60, 61 or 70 rear axle.
If the OP doesn't know how, it may take him at least a WEEK of Saturdays (7 days) to R&R them!

Ok front axle. I look at mine and decide how bad they look if they aren't leaking, but if you want to do the inner seals then You have to pull the locking hubs, then the brake caliper then the bearings and bearing hubs then the spindles then the axle shafts then the front cover then the bearing caps over the carrier then the carrier then the front seals and they are a lot of fun to try to drive straight, they are stubborn. As far as a D60 rear, the only seals are the ones in the bearing hubs and the pinion seal, other than that there isn't any others I have ever found.

rear axle
I should have been more specific with axle location,the rear axle is a peice of cake compared to front Dana 60,my rear axle is complete.Im onto the front now.inner axle seal is the front dana 60,looks easy enough to replace but not at this time.

I looked close at that picture, I never thought these were that big of a deal, I might be confused, but pull the axle (5 min) pull the 2 nuts off the spindle (10min) then pull the hub/drum assembly and knock the seal out. I may be mistaken, but this isn't a huge deal. I look at a big deal like pulling a 18 speed transmission out of a Kenworth and rebuilding the auxillary and the bearings inside then putting a new clutch and re installing the transmission, that is a wek worth of saturdays.

Seems like what you meant was a inner wheel bearing seal and that is no big deal, even easy if you have done it more than once. The inner axle seal is not the same and as others have said " If it ain't fixed, don't break it"
.I could just be confused by that's what I get for lurking

The second diagram (front axle) shows the closed knuckle axle design.
The 1978 and 1979 Dana 60s were open knuckle. IIRC the closed knuckle design don't have the inner axle seal (near the ring and pinion). The open knuckle design do have that seal because that's what keeps the gear oil in the differential.
This is from long term memory so I could easily be wrong.
