Re: Locker abuse
If you decide to go with axle seals, you need a threaded rod with
washers to fit the seal at one end and a bar with a hole or large washer
on the outer end.
The seals punch into the diff and have to be drawn back out so the
threaded rod is needed to pull them to their seats.
Good luck.

The metal ring on the outer end of the axle shaft is a circlip. Its function
is to keep the axle in place laterally.
The metal ring on the outer end of the axle tube could be what's left of the
grease seal.

My floating axles have a metal dust shield at the end of the tube on the
axle. YJ's and TJ's use a plastic dust shield there. None of the above
have any seals in the outer axle tubes. The axles just flop around with
the hub removed.
You are talking the stub axle Yoke that goes through the spindle on the
other/out side of the u-joint.
The dana 30 front differential only has inboard seals located inside the
pumpkin unless it is a vacuum disconnect for those few years in which
case it 'still' only has inboard seals, they are just in the shift lock
box. Still no seals at the end of the axle tubes for any year of D30 I
have seen.
