    im in the middle of putting the knuckles back together and the rubber oil seal that fits over the knuckle seems not to want to fit over it. This is a rebuild kit i bought from krage motorsports. im afraid to ruin the rubber. do i just need to hold my breath and force it or does anyone have pictures or a link of the process? i did a search and did not come up with much. thanks

    bend the seals apart at the split (push each end away from the other) just enough to slide them over the axle shaft near the Knuckle. Then bend back the opposite way to straighten 'em up and slide into place to bolt up.
