BX23 Front Axle Seals - NOT 'pivot'

[tshep]

But the actual front (stubby) axle seal at the 2 bearings in the gear cover.
I bought these seals along with a pivot set - turns out that was easy after these - https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200898125_200898125
Are the axle seals and bearings a press job?
Failure rate?
I see no traffic about them,
If they are press then the worse part of the job would be the (re)cleaning, and I may just add the seals to the parts box for later.
Anyone?
THX!

Lots of views, no advice, I guess folks don't change 'em during pivot job - so I did OK.

I am not exactly sure which seals you are talking about? The turn seals on the portals?

I did those - the pivot or bevel gear seal/race combo.

I mean the seal between the wheel mounting hub/axle and the large (8 in) gear (along with 2 bearings).
The OE manual simply says "remove"...

I think there is some youtube videos on people that have done it.
