Well I looked last night but forgot to post! I used a 12-point 34mm socket to remove and install the seals. Fit nicely over the horn-looking flare that guides the axle shaft in from the outside as well as hitting all of the metal part of the seal when driving it in.

How different are these seals from a non disconnect high pinion? I've got a heavy gut feeling the rubber pieces I got from slowreilly's aren't going to be the correct ones. Especially because they were $12.50 a piece..

The inner seals that sit right inside the diff are identical. It's the outer disco seal that's different.

Right. But the seals I got are almost thick rubber o rings, no metal or anything like every other axle seal I've seen

The ones I ordered have a little flair on them

That doesn't sound right.
