Driver's Axle Trouble

Driver's Axle Trouble
I was trying to install my driver's side axle, but couldn't get it to seat in all the way.
Unfortunately when trying to get it in, a small circular spring came out. I'm guessing it's part of the axle seal in the transmission case? If I replace the axle seal, will I be ok?
I ask this because I also found a similar spring on the crankshaft when I did my rear main seal, but the new rear main seal didn't seam to have one. Maybe it's normally inside the RMS, and I pushed it out when I removed the old RMS?

I though that was it too, but I noticed that the parts diagram lists that only 1 is required for the car. Looking at the transmission, it looks like there is a seal on both sides of the output. One for each driveshaft.
Hmm, I guess I'll buy the seal and find out.

Yea, the shop that cleaned the threads did a really good job. He told me there aren't many threads left, but thankfully the bolts tightened down.
I didn't torque it all the way down to OEM specs, but it should be good.
Hopefully they wont bind at WOT
