Hello. REALLY need some advise. Am replacing the inner seals (or TRYING to) on the rear axle. What is the breakdown of the differential in relation to the R&R axle for access to the inner seals? How does one get to these / get them out? Thanks to whomever can give me some easy-to-understand instructions (I am not a highly skilled mechanic!!!) Thanks so much! - Chris

You have to remove the rear Hub/Drum assembly with a HUB PULLER. then you unbolt the brake backing plate. This will allow you to remove the axle and it's pressed on bearing. The seal is behind the bearing. This would be a good time to repack the rear axle bearings too. Keep all shims in their respective place.
You really need a Studebaker shop manual. It is explained far better than a few sentences.

After the above, to remove the AXLES you install the Drum and Hub assembly on the axle, install the washer and Nut by hand, then slide the drum away from you and "bump" it outward to remove the Bearing Cup (Race) from the housing that is holding the Bearing and axle in.StudeRich
