Is this the right seal? Rear axle.

I picked up a rear outer axle seal from napa. It looks like this which is a little different than I've seen online. 10 bucks



Thanks!

˟˟˟˟. So this isn't the one that keeps oil from going all over my tire? Is that one called the inner seal?

There is another seal that is just an Oring, About 3-4" dia 1/8 thick, This goes between the axel housing and the brake backplate.

Four nuts and remove the brake line from the wheel cylinder and it slides right out.

Very easy.

Edit: Undo the e-brake cable also..
