Tim, those axle/bearing keeper nuts with built in oil seal is a must to 
prevent oil leakage but keep in mind that the seal rides on the axle shaft 
itself 
and these are not usually machined smooth enough for a seal (Bob's tapered 
shafts are and these are the answer to broken shafts and the dreaded klunk).  
So 
if you keep your old axles, install a speedi sleeve to give the seals a smooth 
surface to ride on......
