Is there any special tools or tricks to do this job? I'm getting ready to install an 8 1/4 that's been sitting outdoors for a while. Somewhat protected from the weather. I figure since I'm cleaning it up and swapping my own backing plates onto it anyway I might as well do this too. Thanks  You'll want a slide hammer to get the bearings out of the housing.

you can easily pop/pry the seal out with the end of the axle
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns
paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred
site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

Both of those above.
You need a seal puller to pop the seal out of the axle tube to get to the pressed in bearing. Then a slice hammer with a bearing grab fork doohicky.
I've done about 10 over the years on jack stands and no special tools.
