Question Front Axle Shaft Seals?

Hi :-)
I need to change my front axle shaft seals on my 2000 Suburban 1500
My first question is : are they the same left & right?

If so is this part number correct? (sorry about using a vendor site but they have lots of parts info)

Thank you very much for any feedback about this
S.

when you do the job....the left side shaft can be hammered out...the right side can't...the extension housing must be removed.

Hi
Yes I know that I will have to remove the shaft on that side ;-)
But are the seals the same on both sides? and is that part I mentioned correct?
Thanks for the tip :-)
