inner axle seals
to change my inner axle seals in my front axle do i have to drive the seal from the inside out to remove? i noticed when i removed the axle shaft that the seal was behind a brass bushing out towards the end of the axle tube.

so even with the bushing in front of it the slide hammer did the job? i'll have to buy or borrow a slide hammer then. i was going to fit sections of pipe from one side to the other. your way sounds easier!

Slide hammer is the key, but a better option is with a 2 jaw expandable puller attachment instead of the finger type. Some of these seals & bushings are really tight. The expandable jaw type prevents slip offs & really is easier to use for this job, especially since you are pulling bushings & seals in the same operation.
