    Replace M939 Front Axle Seals and Boots DIY

    How does one remove the encased axle seal? Tech manual isn't clear on this final step. I've tried seal puller, slide hammer, pry bar, etc. Thanks for suggestions. Ps. Still looking for grease suggestions.

    Im sure there is a thread out there but i cant seem to locate it. At present my main question is the size of the hub bearing retainer nut? Im working on a 84 M923. What started out as a boot replacement turned into a seal job due to oil in the knuckle. Thanks

    M923 Power steering

    Only thing I can think of is that your getting some sort of pressure "turbulance" and its kicking fluid around in the res.
