I am currently starting to reassemble the box and I am at the point where I am inserting the sector shaft bearing/seals.
In the thread saginaw rebuild thread on pirate (found here for reference) the guide indicates that these components would be inserted in the order: bearing, inner seal, washer, snap ring, outer seal.
Looking at the diagram provided with my seal kit it seems to indicate that in the durango box the parts are installed in the order: bearing, inner seal, washer, outer seal, washer, snap ring.
FWIW:
I guess the questions are
A) which order is correct?
B) assuming the diagram provided with the seal kit is correct, is the first 'washer' (marked with an * above) actually the plastic washer that was attached to the inner seal?
I already know I should have recorded the order it came apart on my own but I was dumb and didn't do so since I figured I had a rebuild guide to instruct me putting it back together. :doh:
edit: I'm starting to think that the pirate thread is correct and the diagram included with the seal kit includes universal instructions or something (I noticed that the saginaw rebuild instructions on fourwheeler.com show two washers used in a different setup than the pirate guide shows).

FWIW:
- I know there was only one washer that came out of the durango box when I was tearing it apart so is it possible/likely that the diagram is referring to the white-ish plastic ring that came attached to the inner seal as a washer?
- Also, if I follow the instructions on pirate there appears to be enough room between the washer and snap ring for the inner seal to fit there... so it almost seems like the diagram is correct but I wanted to double check before proceeding any further.
