Definately the seal...
Any parts place should have them.
You will need to remove the backing plate to remove the axle, so oyu will need to bleed the brakes afterwards... Buy a bottle of brake fluid while you are out.
There is nothing too tricky, just take your time.

While you are in there, you can mod the backing plates and install some of the SJ410 Backing Plates on this page - http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/samaxles.htm
That way you can remove axles without having to bleed your brakes.

fark $26 for a seal that costs <$1.00 thats robbery
$7.00 bux sounds fair, and there will be little to no difference in quality between brands
