Leaking rear axle
Hi everybody and Merry Christmas to you all.
First I want to tell you I have now installed the sport headlights on my 99 RAM 2500 that had the single bulb headlights. I used the conversion headlight harness from suvlights.com and are very satisfied with it. It has 6 relays and comes with everything you need for the installation.
It is even wired for all 4 bulbs on low beam but can be changed to run only 2 for our annual inspection.
Now to my question for the day:
My rear axle is leaking oil into the drum brake on the right side. I have bought new seals and brake shoes.
Is there anything I should know before I start to dismantle the outer bearings to get to the seals?
Are there any special tools that I do not get by without?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you

youre leaking diff fluid into your drum? ive changed mine before,i dont think the fluid can actually get into the drums. i could be wrong. I used a slide hammer to remove the bearings and seals.
theres a cylinder inside the rear drum that can leak brake fluid.
