yep. classic problem.
pull the axles to do the u-joints. shove em back in. now the real seals leak.
its really a ****ty design.
so now he gets to take the whole **** ****ing front end back apart, including pulling the carrier out and cleaning all the crap out of the axle tubes. replace two $8 seals. then put the whole **** ****ing thing back together.
it really shouldn't be that hard !!!

yes, its easier because you only have to remove one side, and you don't have to remove the carrier.
but - the passenger side is the harder one to seat the seal. i made a big washer the exact size of the seal's outer ring, but that wouldn't get stuck in the cavity. someone else used one of the seal driver tools from a kit and said that worked good.
mine's not as pretty as zman's.
