What seal are you talking about??? The 3rd member doesn't have a seal, it's
gray silicone for that, and the axle seals as well as the pinion seal should be
easy to find, if not call Hawks or Petroworks, bet they have them

I think that is what they are called, worst case is get the #s off of the
seals and get them from a seal supply company, that's what I have
done to save big $$ on seals instead of getting them thru the dealers
or the autoparts stores

You could look those #s up online and get them sent to your door
if you wanted

You shouldn't need anything to drop in a mini-spool as long as you are careful pulling your rear axles out.  If your worried about it you could get a new set of rear wheel bearings along with a rear axle seal, Low Range Off-Road has them available for 45 dollars.  As for the third member, just use some silicone and give it time to setup.

Which seals specifically?  If you are talking pinion seals, then yes, they are the same.  If you are talking about axle seals, then no, they are nowhere near the same.
