[DML] Re: Differential axle shaft seal

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pretty easy - I've cone several. It's a bit fiddley prying it out but 
it can be done. 

Now for the Caution Part - you'll probably find that the part of the 
flange that goes into the seal is a bit rusty and will not clean up. 
If you put it back together with a new seal it will probably still 
leak. Best solution is to sleeve it - Grady sells a Harmonic Balancer 
Sleeve in the correct size. Save yourself from future aggravation and 
get one (or two since you're under there).
