And to remove the seals:

And to put the seals back in straight:

I guess I will never understand why people fight with doing things for days instead of simply buying the right tools.
Thank you for the links, I'm sure it will help someone looking to tackle this project!

I guess I will never understand why we can't be constructive here, a simple rephrase would have made this a great addition to the thread.

I'm in this to learn everything I can, so I don't mind learning from a few mistakes. Next time I'll pick up some axle pullers, seal pullers, and drivers.

I worked on the front end of mine for about an hour and a half today before leaving for my gravy shift. I got the entire driver side suspension out minus the axle and LCA. I'm in the process of rebuilding the LCA's following your other tutorial. I picked up the LBJ kit from Advance today.

Tomorrow much beer will be drank, and much progress will be made.
Thank you montijo! I'm excited to see your progress, sounds like you got far into it today!
