I'll order one anyways I guess just in case its only $15 Yukon has them all the Dana axles take the same bushing right? Advance sells the Yukon one, but it says Dana 30 and 44. Before when I looked it up it said Dana 30, 44, and 60 part # 18060. I have never ran the diff low I haven't been driving the truck as soon as I noticed the seal let loose by the CAD. It lost a good amount of gear oil, but not enough to significantly damage the diff. I just didn't want to take the risk though I've had the truck off the road for about 4 months now so I can wait a little longer I tried to take it to get an alignment, but that was around the time the seal let loose. I replaced the control arms, leaf springs shackles, front fenders, the bed, redid the frame as well from the fuel tank back while I dropped the tank and had the bed off.

Tried vice grips no luck there's barely any room to get in there with them and there isn't an impact with them either so it just tears the rubber apart instead of separating the seal. Tried a rod, but it doesn't grab onto anything when passing through the axle tube there's nothing to grip.

Sadly this is an old style seal it bottoms out surrounding the axle tube instead of going into it. I can't get to the lip of it because I don't want to damage the surface it mates to. I'm gonna put some heat to it I guess.
