axle shaft seals??

So I've decided to do some really needed maintenance on the front end of my XJ. The axle shaft U-joints have gone beyond ready to explode to marracas in my axle. Drop down brackets are on order, new shocks, new seals...etc. I pulled it all apart yesterday and I want to replace the seals on the axle, but I can't figure out how I'm going to insert the axle shaft without getting it covered in all that muck thats inside the tube.

Do you guys usually pressure wash the inside of the tube before re-inserting the axle shaft???
 
Hose it out is one way another take a 3 foot piece of all thread and a fender washer double nut it and scrape mud out.
