M38A1 front alignment?

[Casey B]

Well I got the rear pinion out and the rear of the transfer case drive.
I had to remove the speedo gear assmebly cus there was no way that seal was coming out! I split it 3 places and still nothing so i really didn't want to damage the splines...so off it came. I'll work on the seal on the bench.

The shaft surface has a deffinet grove in it from sitting too long so a speedy sleeve will work.

The rear end is another subject.
I have not seen a seal this small before nor have I ever seen it where the seal is almost on the edge of the pinion shaft...?photos below.

Am I correct in saying that the seal in the diff is only about as round as a 50 cent piece? Red arrow A or the whole large cone shaped end Green arrow B?

I really don't want to to start trying to pull anything out till I know what to expect.

The photo after the one with the arrows is the pinion shaft.

The pinion shaft is a little worn but only the end as it looks like it does not go in that deep...? The cone that is with the shaft was welded at one place and a crude weld at that...?
Was it supposed to be welded to the shaft? And no washer behind the nut either!
Only the rear transfer shaft had a washer.

The next is the obvious seal slaughter!

The last is the rear transfer shaft with the park brake assembly attached. It is the real leaker and will need a sleeve.
