I am installing some Yukon 4340 shafts in my dana 30. I cant figure out what to do about outer seals as the stock ones will not fit. i think im just going to grind the stock plastic disk a little to fit over the new shafts. any other ideas are welcome.

Those plastic rings on the front shafts are worthless. Ditch em' unless u like the mud then get those fancy axle tube seals.

the axle seals on the d30 are at the carrier, not at the end of the axle tube... thoes plastic pieces are "large rock sheilds"
