I have red arrows pointing to the gasket I'm talking about (the outermost one)--It looks like the part I have, and feels like it too from the inside, but it's got so much grime on it I just want to hear from someone else who's done this before I make more work for myself

Read a few of the other posts here on the forum and answered my own question as to whether or not it was (it was, of course!) and was able to get it out with a flat head. Now my question is in other posts I've seen they have a tool to install the new axle seal, is there a poor man's way of doing this (or making one), or is this a reasonably priced tool that can be picked up?
EDIT: Also, what kinda grease can I use for IH 251 HEP?
