Anybody know if there is any difference between ten factory and Alloy USA Axel seals? The Ten Factory's are quite a bit cheaper but I don't want to get cheap parts that will fail quickly. Can't find much info but it seems the 10 factory makes a lot of popular jeep parts so I would think they would be good. Thanks

Haven't heard of Ten Factory.
Are you talking about the aftermarket outer axle tube seals for a D30? They aren't critical, just keep junk out. I imagine whatever goes as long as they don't fall out.

Is the water pumps inlet for lower hose corroded or broken? I have had that issue before and it makes sealing the lower hose difficult.

May want to clean out the gunk inside axle tubes before installing. If rig has been wheeled much there is likely to be sediment in there. Was the blocks inlet for lower hose corroded or broken? I have had that issue before and it makes sealing the lower hose difficult.

Being very careful not to touch the inner seals.

Yea, I plan on putting an oversized washer on the end of a stick/pole and using it to put in and drag out any excess dirt and debris.
