Default replacing axle shafts tomorrow

so the titles says it my question is, one does my 93 have a vacuum disco? two if it does have a vac disco is there anything special i need to do with it? i read somewhere that there is a needle bearing somewhere on there that i need to be careful about, but when i pulled the old shafts the other week i didnt see any kind of needle bearing, also is there just the inner seals or are there outer ones too?
