Ron,I just use the open end of a 1-1/8" wrench and gently work seal in by tapping on wrench,Rick

That is assuming that the axles are out, right Rick?

If you are doing a seal replacement with axles in, I think you you can carefully tap the seals in with a length PVC pipe placed over the axle.

I think it was 1-1/4" schedule 40 or 80 PVC. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

If you clean up the axle, you can use the wheel hub to nudge the seal in place.

Thanx guys, the wheel hub is a good idea. My axles shine like a diamond in a goats azz anyway

I keep a short piece of pipe just for that . Never thought of PVC though! Good idea.
