Rear axle seal
The rear axle seal on my '59 F100 needs to be replaced. Is it an easy repair and are any special tools needed?

I did the seals on my '59 F250,they didn't require any special tool.You have a 9" differential probably,while I have a Dana 60,so I'm not 100% sure.If you don't already have one,buy a factory shop manual,that will tell the tale.

When you get the axle pulled out, here's a neat tip for getting the seal out. That is sometimes the hardest part. The seal sits down in the tube a bit and is tough to get a normal seal puller into. Take a scratch awl or a long nail and punch two holes through the metal part of the seal on opposite sides. Thread a couple of 3" drywall screws into the holes and then you can alternate back and forth with a claw hammer to pull it right out. Works every time!
