A friend has a 55 Willys pickup with a Timken rear and needs to replace the inner axle seal. He has it disassembled to where it is time to pull the axle. He is afraid that once he pulls the axle, he won't be able to put it back in. Seems to me it's simple, pull the axle, replace the seal and push it back in. Is there something I'm missing?

Welcome to the page, ricaltman! I would think some care would be necessary to push the axle shaft back in so as to not damage the seal, but that's the procedure.

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable
