How does the new seal compare to the old one?

I use a big socket and hammer to set it in

What does the inner diameter of the tube look like. I vaguely remember having this issue 15 years ago or there about. I ended up with a Dana and never used the 8 3/4. Thinking back on it, I would have needed to clean up the tube where the seal presses in. Im thinking a ridge reamer and maybe run a hone in there to clean it up.

The Dana and 8 3/4 would use the same seals.
