How much did you pay?

And did you check with Dana to see if they have them?

I think you need to replace the axle bearings & bearing retainers to replace the seals. IMHO you should also use new carrier bearings.

In the picture at that link, I think 8 is the seal, 9 is the bearing, 10 is the bearing retainer and 11 is a snap ring.

I think you need to buy 8,9,10, and 11 for each side to replace the seals as you have to break the retainer 10 and split or press off the bearing to replace the seal.
