Default Rear banjo inner seal installation

How are you guys installing these seals? I tried to install on and it went sideways slightly even though I was trying to drive it square. Working down the tube is quite the challenge.

Here
Brattons, 800-255-1929, makes a seal driver for $7 that threads onto a length of 1/2" pipe that allows you to drive in the seals.


From JM Sedan's post in 2014,

Here are some pictures of the tools I use to remove old seals and put new seals in place. The pusher plug is just a two diameter aluminum piece I made on a lathe. The removal tool is just a small diameter rod that I bent into the shape that worked for me. I assume we are talking about the seals inside the axle housings, at the wheel bearing end?

deuce lover, thanks for posting those pictures. I was going to go back and find that post, but couldn't remember exactly when I posted that.

I made an adapter that threads on the end of an axle shaft - works great.
