So I am doing the rear brakes and the bearings etc on the 2001 recon (Recon is short for recondition it seems) and I took out the seal that goes in the swing arm just before the splines (to get the mud out) on the drum side and the kit I purchased from Ebay (Boss bearings) did not have that seal.

I have a photo so you can see the seal that I need. I kinda bent up that metal cover that protects the seal, do folks replace that or just toss it?

I cant find that listed anywhere and I guess I need to order one (Or go to Honda to get it $$) and I kinda need a part number. Anybody have a diagram with part numbers that shows it?

And while I am on the topic of this rear end rebuild I would like to ask… my kit came with three bearings and two outer axle seals, I am guessing that two of those bearings go on the other side (drive side?) of the swing arm…but how do I get those out of that steel tube housing? They are definitely shot so I hope I am thinking correctly, the one in the brake drum side was held in by large e-clip and two on the other side do not seem to have a retainer…. I see no snap ring or e-clip retaining them so whats up? Do I need to remove the differential and drive them out from the other side?

Behind this seal are the two other outer bearings that I plan to change.
But no snap ring was behind that seal.
