Unless you are replacing the bearings the outer seals in the retainers are rarely messed with, they are mostly a dust and seal, keeping brake and road dust out of the seal are. worry mostly about the inner seals in the axle tube. When installing them making sure that they are in square install into the tube to the little step lip in the tube. They will stop when in far enough. Make sure that you clean, inspect and repack the bearings with a good grease before reassembly, this is the only lubrication that they should get. They are not lubricated from the rear end lube.
