You have to pull the axles and you will see the seals sitting in front of you. Pry them out with a ***** driver and gently tap the new seals in place. With new oil, wet the rubber surface prior to installing the axles.

hows your bearings as well??? check the axle when u remove it if their is any marks or scoring like mine was, u will need new axles and bearings. u will need to remove the rear diff cover, drums, and the spyder gears then slide out the axles. if u need new axles then use theese... http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-32362_...ls___studs_.htm

that is of course if it is the 8.8 inch rear end. what year and engine is it?? i also bought new brakes from them as well because my rt side axle bearing sh$% the bed and the seal leaked out on my rear shoes.

i just bought them and installed them in my truck. Really good deal for the money, they come with axles, bearings, seals and , wheel studs!!

On the ground then it will probably take about 4-5 hours depending on your skill level. u will need a slide hammer or puller to remove the bearings from the axle housing.
