I just pulled the axle on my sons 93 YJ (passenger side) and I need to
replace the axle seal, from what I can gather the seal is located
inside the vac disconnect housing.

Now to get the seal out I assume I have to make / buy a puller and
force the seal into the disconnect housing.... correct?

Also is it possible to pry it out or is this a bad idea?

I use a pry bar from the outside to just pop them in. It helps to have
a second person to see what is going on with the seal because the work
happens outside.

I then use a piece of threaded rod through the tube with a washer (or
combo of them) the right size to fit the seal and nut that inside.
Outside I put a bigger washer (or a bar with a hole would do) across the
mouth of the tube and suck the seal in with a wrench on the nut outside.

Works pretty well, I have used it on a couple YJs.
