Problem solved. Cut the '96 flange for the '00 backing plate

I KNOW it doesn't look like it here but these humps in the backing plate taper and were preventing proper fitment. Again, this photo just doesn't do it justice - in real life it was apparent

This is the companion flange you likely won't need if the axle is '99 or earlier

Yoke on '96 axle. You can see where half-clips were riding before (finger indicates). The caps are 1-1/8" in the yoke and 1-1/16" in the d/s (external clips)

Fear not, once the main pack flattens a bit from the weight of the vehicle the separation at the ends of the upper overload increases. Still, I'm not sure the upper spring will ever see any action. I'll try to get pics with a full tank of water.

Now THESE are some heavily worn upper overload brackets. Note where on one the spring was actually grooving THE METAL (gloved finger indicates).

As seen inside the CAD cavity. I didn't get a shot of the modified cup actually in the backside of the seal, but it fits like a glove

Next I grabbed a drop of 2.5" round Al stock and machined this to fit the axle tube. Thru-drilled 5/8" for 5/8" allthread.

I'm swimming in import ball joint press kits similar to the Astro 7865. This is a piece in most press kits. I turned it down until it just fit inside the metal framework of the seal; length of this feature was .270" IIRC. I also tapped it 5/8-11 which was much easier than using a nut.

At the inner C I again crudely elevated the extension to be ROUGHLY concentric -- then, just tap away with hammer of your choice

You've got to assemble the disc onto the handle once in the CAD opening. Then I elevated it with a random socket to act as a spacer to keep it somewhat concentric with the bearing

1/2" dr 18" extension plus 1" deep socket slid over the handle of my inexpensive import seal/race driver.
