axel inner seal

Hello Plymouth owners. I have a 36P1 business coupe. I am trying to replace the inner axel seals.
Plymouth made a bunch of changes in 1937 leaving my ride much different for seals. I have new seals that are in( one piece) with a spring and seal material that is supposed to be the inner seal. But on my rear axel it is different.
The term is an " oil washer " (2 pieces I think) where the back side is permanently attached with some sort of silver weld. I am thinking this is the back of the "seal" because I took the front washer out and there is a felt material about 1/2 inch wide. I am at a loss as to how to proceed because I could be messing with housing not the back part of the "seal". The books are calling this a "rear inner seal oil washer".
The book clearly indicates that the oil seal can be removed. I need tips on whether to grind the weld off or whatever I need to do. I really don't need to replace the whole axel housing.
Thanks
BT

Re: axel inner seal

The seals I bought from ebay they are correct for a 36p1 Plymouth. The original half of the "oil washer" is in the axel.
Thanks for reply. P.S. seller doesn't know about procedure.

Re: axel inner seal

Here is a revised drawing haven't had a chance to take pictures. The forum excepts this time of file. Please try to open it. The inner part has me wondering if it is part of the axel or seal if it was part of the axel I will have to remove it to put in the seals the part number calls for or whatever .Thanks Max
