i dunno. seals are easy to do .. i would pb blast the seal let it sit a bit. then take clean in front the seal the best you can then remove the old. while its out clean it again and instal. i generally like to find some thing the diameter of the seals outer race. and tap lightly on it try to make it go even. i also like to coat the area it will be getting fitted too with a heavy oil or light grease to help it slide on in. seals and bearings like fore-play. and if your up for it makes em go well. try not to score the housing as a deep enough one will cause a leak and a bur that will be a mother-humper to deal with later or while your at it.

take your time shouldn't be too bad .

These were $80 with tax/shipping, there were some for less but they didnt have the detailed info on axle compatability I was looking for. I never even knew these seals existed until I was checking out somebodys XJ on the last Naches run.

well pulling the hubs will be the hardest part. the rest is pie. over all those should be nice and simple to do.
