Rear Axle Seals?!?

[robi5993]

2003 3500 single rear axle, I was having trouble with my parking brake not holding, when I took the rotor off to clean and examine I found Gear oil . What is the easiest way to replace my rear axle seals?

Pull the hubs off and put new seals in. They're a two piece seal that can be a little tough to get in correctly so slip them on straight. Brace yourself for the price though... .

Remove axle shaft flange bolts and remove shaft.

Remove retianer ring (RETAINER RING) from the axle shaft tube.

Remove hub bearing nut locking key (LOCKING KEY).

Remove hub bearing nut with Socket 8954.

Remove hub and bearings from the axle.

Pry out hub bearing seal from the back of the hub.

NOTE: The inner part of the seal may stay on the axle tube (INNER PART OF SEAL). This part must also be removed.
