Thanks

pics of the last time i was into one.

inside the tube is where the seal lives.

it has a retainer that really fits snug.

a slide hammer pops it out easy.

forgot to respond to your question.

a good 2 hrs to do it rite with cleaning and repacking the wheel bearings.

and cleaning everything else there.

check axle for groove where seal runs.
