Vic,
I think you are referring to the stub axle oil seals right? I brought mine to 
a few local shops and no one would touch them for fear of damage. You need 
the "right" tools and knowledge. I believe you will need to press the bearing 
from the axle to allow the oil seal housing to be removed to access the oil 
seal 
itself. Not much clearance to press the bearing off the axle without the 
knowledge or the tools. 

Just the inner axle shaft is $138 Moss. The driving flange is not even 
available at MOSS. Oil seal is cheap at $6.00 each though. The whole package is 
expensive to replace so I ended up shipping both of my stub axles to TRF and 
had 
them do the oil seal replacements for me.

They blasted everything, replaced the oil seals, replaced the bearings 
(TIMKEN I think), reassembled and painted them gloss black. All this for about 
$150.00 + shipping. I had this done in January 2003.

I know...all this for two $6.00 oil seals, but hey I wanted to stop oils 
leaks where I could. Good Luck!
