With Company gone for two weeks, its back to Thor's gear project.
New parts have arrived and are sorted from Meritor. I hauled the hubs in last evening and set about to see how it all comes out with the CTIS seals.
This is how the seals are set into the hub. Its a spring retainer and you can pop them out with a couple of small screw drivers.

The blackish goo that is everywhere is left over RTV.
Again, don't be this guy...
Under the retainer are the hard plastic rings..

..and under these are the seals..

I removed these with a large punch and hammer, carefully noting how they came out for re-installation of the new ones. The hubs will now get a bath in the parts washer and I'll do the install on the weekend.
