Transmission Rear Seal Leak

I have a 1993, 2WD, XJ with 186K miles. I noticed a leak from the rear of the tranny where the drive shaft goes in. I ordered an AT rear seal from Autozone, but when I went to change it, it does not look anything like what's in there. The part I got was a 1-piece Timken #710058, it has a metal body with red rubber on outside and black rubber seal on inside w/ something that looks like a spring coiled around it. What's in my Jeep has a big black rubber lip that lets the shaft(piece that connects to the driveshaft w/u-joint and it accepts the splines from the tranny) fit snuggly inside. Does anybody have a good pn from Autozone and any experience changing this out. Can it be done with a screwdriver because I don't have access to one of the special seal pullers? I have the Haynes manual and FSM, but they don't really give specifics when doing it with a screwdriver. I'm stationed in Germany, so most of my parts are from Autozone. Thanks in advance.

The 2WD has a different trans extension housing (at least in my 01). A screwdriver will work, but if you cannot get it out easily, try using a small chisel around the outside to cave it in. You should be able to get it out that way.

...and it never hurts to take the old seal with you to make sure they're giving you the right one!
