Hi Bernie
First of all make sure you lube the seal wipers with a bit of diff oil. Next thing where the seal runs how much of a grove is cut into the axle ?
The way I put axles back in is- I have a couple of axle stands that I have modified to a threaded height adjustment. I have these set up with the axle laid across them set at the height if the diff tube. Then I fit a modified scaffold pipe and bracket to the axle end and with the stands set at the right height I just slide the axle home with no damage to the seal.
It a bit of mucking around but makes life easier.
