I definitely got the two halves of the axle out through the hole that
taking the hub out left.  BUT I think the inner oil seal appears to be
right inside the carrier end of the tube, and it looks like you have to
take the diff out and get to it that way.  The inner oil seal does go
out that way, doesn't it?  That's specifically the seal that blew
causing me the joy of rebuilding my axle.
