Welcome to DF. First, before anything else, please read this.

I will move this to the 2nd gen section for you.

 

Read this thread. Pretty much all you need to know...https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...xle-seals.html

 

assuming you are doing both sides -
remove brakes, big axle nuts, hub bearing, drivers side axle.
remove vacuum cad on passenger side.
note the collar. chamfer edge on outside.
remove passenger side axle.
side passenger inner axle out about 6-8-12 inches.
remove front diff cover.
mark and remove carrier bearing caps.
remove diff. sheriff's good idea was to use a come-along to put pressure on it, then whack on it with a rubber hammer pry with crowbar.
clean axle tubes.
replace seals.
i'd replace u-joints while there. also both cad bushings.
check splines and collar for smooth, easy fit. fix if needed.
reassemble,
