Hate to ask but if you could repost the pics
Thsts perfect then. Vacuum seal, outer axle seal, locking hub oring, gasket, and screws, hub to nuckle oring, and hub nuts--if the kit covers that I'm all good.

Sadly I did not take a photo of the kit contents.
You also get a new snap ring. The big PITA one.
I think the reason that they put a snap-ring into the kit is so many hate it
by the time they get it off that they throw it and the pliers and can't find
it after the throw.
One thing that was also helpful was a long blunt tip punch to help push
the ring flat and get it to settle into it's grove.
If I was doing them day and day out I would get a nice Snap-On snap ring tool for just that job.
No bend and long

I think I have the punch covered--I hope my snap ring pliers work--they are ratchet type.

On another note--thanks to Seans info i finally cleared my head on the parts list (ford part numbers) and good to go. Next up is the fun thread
I think the reason most have problems with that snap-ring is there is not a lot of working room. If you have a tool that the
tip or the holders are too big then your won't be able to open then up far enough to get the Snap-ring out of it's groove.
I have a really nice set from Mac tools that I find hard to maneuver in the gap and hit eyelets. I want to get a nice Snap-On
straight long shank single size pliers. The Harbor Freight set take a bit of finesse do to the changeable tip.

yeah--I was bugging Ed today-he's supposed to get back with me--but the quote I got from them had these seals--but if not part of the kit--then I need to know--I don't want to over order. I think I saw that seal for 16 bucks each on Ebay--spicer part. Heck I have everything figured out with straight spicer parts except for hub to knuckle nuts--can't find the part anywhere--and just the nuts--don't need the studs. So if the kit has all in it I'm good. If it has all but the dust seals I'm good as I can make sure to order them. You can bet when I start the work I am going to post EVERY stinking part number, kit number, tool, grease, etc that goes into it for future reference lol.
I use the Knipex brand of snap ring pliers and they work great. Just did bj, hub seals etc on a '99 yesterday. The Knipex are made in Germany and you can buy them at Amazon. Yesterday was the first time I'd used my recently purchased hub seal driver. Wow what a difference when you have the right tool! It's one heavy chunk of aluminum though.
