Hi Folks,
Well, thanks to the list response and heartened by a Thanksgiving glass of
Pinot Noir, I have the axle out of the car. Not difficult if you remove them 6
bolts first. Ha!
Anyways, not quite finished yet:
1. The oil seal to be replaced is still in place:

How to remove it - should I just lever it out with an oil seal remover tool or
is there a better way.
2. I'm assuming the new one is gently tapped in with a socket with the spring
side goes in first and I'm left looking at the lettering side:

3. I have the axle assembly lying on the garage floor - I can separate the
bearing housing from the hub to give a gap of 1/8". Is this normal?

4. Those six bolts were held in place with tab washers but they were quite
loose - could that cause the oil leak.
Many thanks for any input - wow, I may be finished by Monday!
