blew axle seal
Over the weekend I blew out an axle seal on the drivers side. As a refresher, to fix this, I need to pull the tire and break drum, pull the axle out, take off the axle nut, use a slide hammer to pull seal, use a seal driver to press seal back in, and reassemble axle. Fill with fluid (what would the proper weight be?) anything I'm missing?

Yep, that would be it. Should be a ratcheting axle nut??
If you have a ratcheting nut this is your torque
After tightening hub nut to 55-65 lb-ft, Rotate hub occasionally while tightening,
ratchet back eight teeth or notches on the hub nut (1/6 turn).
Eight clicks must be heard in order to have performed the procedure correctly.
NOTE: The hub nut will ratchet as torque is applied.
Remember, the last step of this procedure is to tighten the axle shaft bolts to specification after the lug nuts have been tightened.
Lug nuts =170-230Nm (126-170 lb-ft).
Tighten eight axle shaft retaining bolts to 95-115 Nm (70-85 lb-ft).
75-140 Syn for posi units is the best but 80-90 gear oil will be OK.
