Rear Axel Seals
So... When yall are doing yall's rear axel seals, do yall send your axels out to have em pressed in, or is there some age old trick that I'm just unaware of?
Cause I've had the seals sittin in my toolbox at work for a good 2 months now, and haven't wanted to take a half day off to tear apart my rear, and then ship the axels off to have em pressed in and wait a day to get em back, then take another half day to put em together again.
We have a 17.5 ton press at the shop, but it has nowhere near the clearance to press in an axel seal. It's more for pressing studs into rotors than for that, so I dunno... Any tricks yall do?

I had my regular mechanic do it and it cost me w/new rear brake shoes around $400 but I've heard dealers will charge close to a grand which is rediculous.
