OK I now have the axle out and it was actually pretty easy and I also found the directions in the repair manual. It is the axle seal that was leaking but now I think I have to take it to a machine shop to have this compression ring removed. Unless someone knows of away to get it off. I thought about beating it off and then just replacing it but I'm worried I might tear something else up. Anyone ever done that or have a way of removing this compression ring (thats what I call it).
