I have got to replace the axle shaft oil seals on my front diff, i'm pretty sure it's a dana 44, neither the chiltons or haynes books cover anything on 'em. I read up online that they had to be pulled out from the inside, meaning pulling the diff and gearing!! Is this true, anybody have any tips.

 

here's a writeup on the dana44 axle seal replacement.
