Rear Axle seal

[AU_88]

My rear axle is leaking, I have the seals and just need to know if I need to remove the tire to fix it. My jack is 130 miles away. Thanks.

edit: I'm guessing I should also replace the race and possibly bearings as well? I have to order some parts from RN tomorrow so maybe I should wait?

Yes. You need a jack if you are referring to the hub seals.

Its a good time to make sure the axle vent is clear as well.
