4wd hub seals/ replacement
where do you get replacement seals for 4wd hubs?
need to remove the axles to replace some inner seals on my solid front axle, and have to remove everything, but where do you get replacment seals for the 4WD hubs, or are they needed?
not really sure if they have a seal, but dont wanna buy new hubs.

On my Warn's, there is an O-ring on the lockout that seals to the ID of the hub. I'm not sure where to source them without buying a hub service kit, but I'd think a suitable o-ring could be found with a little digging.
Side question: Which front axle did you swap in?

I'm not quite sure what the front axle is, havent checked the tag,
when I replaced the wheel seal on the rear axle, I did find the tag, and wrote in down in my Haynes manual what type it was,
the only reason I'm pulling the stock axles, is to change the seals on the side of the differential. Seems like one side is leaking, and the gasket around the solid axle is leaking, looks like someone took it apart before, and put orange sealer, or red rtv, instead of black oil resistant RTV.
just noticed it not too long ago, and havent added any oil to it, really wanna change the seals inside,
any good write up of changing those seals that go out to each side of the wheel?
I cant even think of what the part is called now.
