I have a leak at my oil seal on my front diff. To get at it requires removing the CV axle ( drivers side). I noticed one mechanic at the You Tube mechanics school recommends replacing the stub axle to have a non worn surface for the seal. That adds a couple hundred to the $15 seal repair. There’s over 250,000 miles on the diff. What say the 4x4 mechanics here. Can you get away with just the seal? Here are the parts from Rock Auto. Thanks
