This seal has seen better days. One common way seals fail is when axles are removed, or installed improperly, thus tearing the rubber seal.
|
Here is the new seal, ready to install. Note the spring on the back of the flexible seal. Be careful not to drop this into the transmission or differential.
|
First pry the old seal out of the differential or trans. A seal removal tool makes this task easy.
|
A seal and bearing race installation tool comes with different sized discs. Choose one that fits into the seal mounting point, yet is only slightly smaller then the seal itself.
|
Next, seat the new seal level into the mount. Tap the seal level into place with the seal tool until the seal is fully seated. Be careful not to deform the seal.
