axle seals

Hey guys I got some question first time jeep buyer and i had to replace the inner axle seals on dana 44 i already took everything apart and just trying to put everything back but the longer axle is having trouble going in do i need in special tool or whats going on

I noticed a light grinding sound coming from the driver side rear tire and after further diagnosis I determined it to be the axle bearing on my Dana 35. I now have all the replacement parts to perform this repair and upon disassembly I discovered that someone had used RTV silicone on the axle...

I changed my wheel seals in my front Dana 30 this weekend and both sides are already leaking worse than what they were. Any ideas? I used a seal press tool to set the seals back flush. Should I have kept going till it stopped?
