W163 Front Differential bearing kit

I'm having front wheel grinding issues and pretty sure the diff bearing are going. I can find W164 Front Differential bearing kit all day, but yet to locate a kit for W163 as well as the W163 Rear Differential bearing kit. Thanks for suggestions and leads!

getting a year 2000+ used transfer case will be easier for a diy job.

#14 is the kit I mentioned.

You will need #83 and the sealer as well

The sealer part number 003-989-98-20-10 is $13.
The 2 in/output seals are 163-284-00-60
