RE: Thank you
Just a tight slip fit.I have a chunk of pipe that I kinda found in the bed of my truck after work :wink: .I use it to drive both the inner hub seal on the spindle and the retainer ring in with a small sledge.I used a large socket just slightly smaller than the OD of the axle seal...
RE: king pin
No,that silver plate is a separate retainer ring.You gotta pull it with a GOOD BIG slide hammer or if your doing both sides just use a long 1" pipe and a Small Sledge.The seal gets knocked into a small ledge inside the actual seal holder.
They are made that way cause you have to fit them to the pins on the axle.You will have to open them up just a smidgen and then Cut the Grease Grooves on a lathe.Not a back yard repair job.What's wrong with your current inserts?They look good.
