I need some advice on how to get the pivot seal out of the housing. I got it all apart to the point where I think I just need to get one more bearing out (I removed the rubber cap from the bottom of the gear housing and got the snap ring out and the other ring that was in there then the first bearing and the second, smaller snap ring and that ones second ring) before I can get to the seal that is leaking. Do I need to take the top bearing out first (the end that goes into the axle shaft)? or will it just come out down through the bottom where the rubber cap was. I guess I wasn't expecting it to fall out, but I cant even get it moving. Hope this makes sense. I will try to get a picture on here.
