I am setting up to replace the inner axel seals on my front end. When I rebuilt the axel 30k miles ago I did not realize I needed to offset the seal to get out of the grove on the axel so I have a leak.
All of the seal kits I see also come with new trunnion bearings. I replaced all the bearings and races on my front end when I rebuilt it. Should I go ahead and replace the trunnion bearings again while I am in there or just skip that part? Seems like they'd still be ok with that few of miles. It's not a ton of time saved but it will make the job faster not pounding the races out and new ones in.
