Picked up some snap ring pliers, the CORRECT size seal kit for the box and working on getting it back together. Thanks for those links, I've seen the Chris Craft Youtube, it is helpful but he goes quick on some things. The Jeep link has good pics.

My question now is, how far down do I drive in the shaft seal before I put the dust seal on? Does it need to hold the bearing down and keep it from any movement?

It looks like I may have additional issues. The bearing in this piece fell out when I was taking things apart, it didn't need any persuasion. It also falls right back in and the whole thing spins. Everything I've seen on this is that it needs to be tapped out and then set back in, which is not the case.

Would I have a problem with the housing (gland assembly) or just need a new bearing?
