Re: Rear axle seals from napa?
They are a pretty tight fit. Getting the old ones out was tough. Got the passenger side done and then proceeded to drive in the next one backwards.  I didn't notice it until the drum wouldn't engage. I did know there two sides to these, but I was in a hurry because I was going to be late for a family get together. I tried everything I could think of to remove it without damage, but in the end, I just ordered a new one.... Dang. As for the outer fiber washer, I took some jute string, coated it with gasket maker and wrapped a few turns around the axle so it would fit into the recess, installed nut and washer and I think I should be good there.
