Got the job done today without issue.

Note that this was a Chevrolet Banjo axle. On a chev, the front axle uses these seals while the rear uses an outer wiper seal which is the same as a bren gun carrier.

Any Ford split axle uses these seals front and back. But to do them you have to remove the axle assemble and split the Banjo axle housing. Lots more work, and you really only want to do this work once. Quite frankly, it should be possible to simply use the Chev/UC Carrier rear wheel seal on the rear axle if you want to save yourself a very long day of heavy work. Also note that on a Ford the gasket on the differential halves is what sets the bearing preload for the differential, as well as the pinion to ring tooth pattern, so you need to use the proper thickness gasket, which is .006".
