Dana 35 axle seal removal.
Want to replace bearings and seals. I cannot get the seal to budge. Using a slide hammer. It’s like it’s fused to the axle.
any tips?

The outer axle seal is just plastic and you should be able to pry it out
with a flathead screwdriver or just chop it up.
If you are using a slide hammer, I think you are trying to remove the bearing.
Since you are going to replace the bearing, you can just cut it out with a torch.

maybe you’re referring the the inside part.
