rbargeron, do I have the correct parts highlighted in these parts diagrams?

Yes - exactly right. Sorry I didn't see this until now - also have your PM asking for some procedure steps - will answer it here and by return PM.
Looking at the diagram I posted above, first step is to take off the wheel and drain the oil from the axle - most direct draining is by prying out the bottom seal cap (C) - it's plastic and there's a notch in the housing to get started.
Next, take off the drive flange and cover (six bolts, 2 nuts on studs) - it takes some prying or tapping (10, 11, 12, & 13 come off together)
Back where cap (C) was, take out the snap ring below the bottom bearing. The lower bearing, small gear (17) and shaft (15) can be worked down by prying down against the small gear through the hole in the housing. Once this is out, you can see another snap ring about halfway up - take that one off and (16) will drop down and off.
Part of the (A) seal will remain on the axle - take this off and clean up the axle with a wire brush so the new part fully seats. For reassembly, I put both parts of the new seal on (16) and pressed it up on the axle until the snap ring would go back on. The o-ring (D) was in ok shape - but I used a little silicone sealant around the flange anyway.
Hope this helps. Good luck and take care, Dick B
