Dif seal on F350 IFS

[85blueox]

I was doing ball joints and thought I would change out the drivers side dif seal.  On an independent front suspension it comes out from the wheel side, quite a challange to get out.  It was the original and had been leaking around the axle for 100ish years.  I included the pictures if the upload worked.  Napa has the seal, others looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for it.  One picture shows the new and old seal after, the other shows the axle housing after I removed 25 pounds of old grease with impregnated gravel, dirt, leaves and mouse crap.

That's 3254 in the illustration - right?

Yep, that's the little bugger.  Actually was not bad, just alot of clean up to get into  it and then it tapped right in.  Very carefully with a 2X4 I tapped it in, not how I prefer to start seals, but the only way to get in that tight spot.
