Front Diff Stub-shaft/Passenger Side bearing replacement

[Pintlar Tactical]

Have a oil leak on the passenger side where the CV goes into the stub shaft. Have replaced the seals 3 times and it is clean for about 20 miles and starts leaking again. This happens on 2 different CV’s (both new).

When I rebuilt the front diff the only thing I didn’t do was replace that output shaft bearing. So I am thinking it is far enough out of tolerance that it is killing the seals.

Question - can I pull off the stub shaft on the vehicle? Do I have to remove the actuator?

Thanks in advance for the input.

How far are you driving in the seal? Should only be driven in 5.5mm.
