Dumb question but I must learn somehow. The rear wheel hub is part of the axle shaft assembly, correct? I'm still working on fixing this wheel wobble.

and passt... when you took off the wheel, did you spin the hub to see if you could still see the wobble?

So, if the axle shaft and hub are one piece, do I have to remove or do anything special with the seal and bearing in order to get the old shaft out and the new one in?

Yes I did. It was hard to tell if there was any wobble at that point because of the small size of the hub as compared to the tire. I don't think there was any though.

Got it. Any special tool(s) needed for removal, replacement of said seal/bearing?

It gets a little tricker with lockers/LSD units but not that much more. Its even easier with non-c clip axles.
