So I am working on fixing the last leak (for the time being on my TJ) while I await my new Tom Woods driveshaft to arrive. My driver's side axle seal is starting to leak a bit on my Dana 35. It looks like a very simple job from what I have seen online. Simply remove the diff cover, remove axles and then replace the seal near the drum brakes. I do have 2 questions

1) Is there an inner seal? I haven't found that info exactly. If so, I'm guessing I need to replace them also because if they are leaking out the outer seals then I am sure that the inners are allowing gear oil past also.

2) Do you recommend doing the other side at the same time? I don't like doing jobs 2x.
 
Just an outer seal just in front of the bearing to replace, no additional seals. And you answered your own question, do both while the diff is open.
 
That is what I thought but when googling parts it looked like there were aftermarket inner seals but didn't look stock. Thank you.
