How far in do the seals need to go? Do they need to just let the bearing go in flush or should they be seated against the inner lip on the axle tubes?
Will new seals come with the new bearings or do you have to buy them separately?
Reason I ask is last time I tried to get them in there fully and bent them. I assume there is no real support being done by the seal other than to just keep the oil from contacting the axle bearing. Is that right?
Thanks,

So one of the techs at Moser told me they use this part:
Chicago Rawhide Seals Part No.: 15141
SEAL 1.500X2.502X.313 @ $3.69/seal
(I.D. x O.D. x Depth/Thickness)
I'll be damned if I can find someone who sells them online so I'm guess I wont' find someone local. All I found was this place online that sold them but it is as much for the handling charge as it is for the seals.

Anyone know if Napa/autozone/etc. would carry these? Do any sponsors sell these if so I'm buying ASAP.

Use a correct size seal installer to hammer the seal to the inner lip. You will feel it when it touches the lip. If not the bearing press ring may touch the seal and destroy it when the axle rotates .

I also would like to know this. I tried to by them at Napa and they were $36 and they were not even the right ones.

Got the tool from HF for $24 bucks and they went in smooth as silk with no damage what so ever this time. I recommend this over a piece of pipe any day because the surface is flat so it presses on the whole surface of the seal at once.

I did that. They cross-referenced the 15141 number and gave me the wrong seal for $36. That was what I was refering to in my initial post. Guess I will just order them from the link above. Thanks though

NAPA Part # for ford 9" seal is :15142, it's a SKF Oil Seal, UPC # 0-8531101527-1,even @ full list price is $7.75, this is the cross reference for the RW 15141. Looks like it doesn't fit at first, take your time, needs to fit all the way againest the inner lip.
Best money spent is on the Seal Driver tool !!!!!!!!!! even an inexpensive one,
Also when dealing with Auto Zone,Pep-nuts, etc, can ask for Ford 70-72 PU, 1/2 ton, usally works.
