inner rear axle seal replacement ?'s and its snowing

[DewRunner]

ok i tried to put the new one in and it was getting stuck to the abs sensor. and i was wondering what you guys use to drive it in i tried using a can and it bent the seal out of round. thanks and its snowing now so any fast responses will help anyone know what size socket to use to ram it?

Thanks.

i just did it this weekend, and i didnt have any problems with it hitting the abs sensor. I guess if it is in the way, you could just remove it. I used a large socket(cant remember what size) and just tapped it in with a 5 lb sledge hammer. it would probably help to put the seal in the freezer to shrink it a little.

it was more so in the way because its magnetic... but i got it with some socket i had lying around that we used for screwing down pistons on gm disc brakes.

thanks for the reply tho have fun out there!
