Both Rear Axle Seals Leaking
I am doing a rear brake job, and both Rear Axle Seals are leaking, and I have a few questions for those of you who have done the job.
1. My Hubs are performing fine, no ABS Codes or anything else, can I reuse them?
2. Should I clean, de-rust and reuse the bolts that hold the hub on? Or get new bolts?
3. Is there a tool for pressing in the new axle seals? I think I just used a PVC pipe for my front ones, but remember having trouble.
Thanks Guys, and everything seems a bit easier on the rear wheels. brakes, not so corroded or tough as the front so I am hoping this is a weekend job.

Does the ABS Connector fit through the hole on the Axle Casing? It has to right?

The hub is not serviceable. Requires a replacement if it’s leaking. Use your old bolts. And yes the sensor goes into the hub assembly. There’s some cheap hubs on eBay people seem to have luck with. Many come with sensors which seem to work. Actually I used my old sensor and it gave an error code so needed to use the new one. Do a search and decide for yourself.

I cleared the breather tube that is fine, I have the passenger side rear on the ground and the parking brake on, and am trying to break the axle nut free. Having a heck of a time. I did get the nut un-staked so taking a break to look at directions and make sure I did not miss any thing.
I really don't want to roll the truck off of the jackstands.
