<< Is there any recommended method for removing the rear axle seals from the 
 ends of the diff housing?  The pinion seal wasn't to bad because it is flush 
 with the housing, but the axle seals are recessed several inches.
 
 How about it, any good suggestions out there?!!

A seal puller (a handle w/  2 opposing hooks on the end - kinda looks like
some medieval weapon) works on these. Should be available at any decent parts
store, cheap.
Now getting the bloody things back in right, is where the real fun begins. You
will need a seal driver, again available at any decent parts store. I made up
a driver tool for these things out of threaded galvanized pipe and
union/reducer pieces. Works better than the plastic seal driver.
BTW how did that carpet work out? Thumbs up or down?
