Front axle seal

I went to replace a boot on my M923A2 front axle yesterday and pulled the bottom bolt from the brush guard only to have fluid start pouring out. I assume this means the seal is out. I did not proceed any further since I don't have a jack heavy enough to lift the truck. After a lot of searching the TMs, I need a TM that shows me how to read the TM's, I think I have found the correct seal. Can some please confirm I am reading this correctly? At the top left of the pg, there is a #28 that looks to be a kit that includes 29-31.

I found this place as a source that looks pretty reasonable. Anyone use this place before? Seems like a good price compared to other sites.

Thanks Floridianson. I have the boots and the boot ring. Are the drive flange gasket and inner hub seals on the diagram I have posted? I haven't had this apart before so I am not familiar with the parts. But, I would like to have all of them before I start on it.

Is #1 the drive flange gasket?

No the drive flange gasket is not on the diagram eather is the inner hub seal. Think the #1 in your diagram is a deflector. Those two parts are part of the hub/drum assembely.
