Thanks it is speedy. One dumb question the axle seals do they just pop out or need special tool?
Thanks

sorry,
got to your question a little late. no special tools as i remember. i think i was pretty rough with it getting them out. i believe a flathead screwdriver and a small hammer was what i used. a seal puller might be the better option but mine never leaked.
