How to replace wheel seals in Manual transaxle on Chevrolet HHR?

At times, there occur lubricant leaks due to wear of the wheel seals which is easy to replace because repairs can be performed without removing the transaxle from the vehicle. These seals are positioned on both sides of the transaxle where the inner Constant Velocity (CV) joints are splined into the differential. If leakage at the seal is suspected, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. If there is a leak in the seal, fluid will be present on that side of the transaxle. Remove drive axles. In case you're replacing the right side Wheel Seal, remove the intermediate shaft too. Using a suitable prybar or screwdriver, carefully pry the oil seal out of the transaxle bore. A special oil seal removal tool (available at auto parts stores) may be necessary if this fails using a screwdriver or prybar. Use a large deep socket as a drift or a seal driver to install the new oil seal. It must be driven squarely into the bore until it seats flush with the transaxle case. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lip of the new seal before installing it onto the drive axle assembly. The lip of the new seal should not be damaged during its installation process though being cautious about that is crucial. Check the level of lubricant in the transmission; add as needed.

Chevrolet HHR Wheel Seal

The Wheel Seal of the Chevrolet HHR helps to keep the wheel bearings of the compact wagon lubricated while blocking road dirt. Each hub is fitted with a small ring at its edge that creates a tight seal which traps grease so the bearing can roll freely and remain cool. Simultaneously, the Wheel Seal prevents the entry of rocks, dirt, and water into the assembly. This is a vital task where even the minimum particles can scuff the bearing surface, build up heat, and cause an early failure. When the seal dries up, cracks, or leaks, lubricant escapes, friction rises, and becomes high, causing the bearing to overheat and become brittle. HHR drivers can check regularly for wet grease lines or torn rubber during their visual checks to detect early warnings. Throughout the course of production, owners of HHR have seen one primary style of Wheel Seal for this vehicle. This has relied on a molded rubber lip pressed against a steel race to hold constant contact and pressure. Thus, differences through the years are mainly one of size, not function. Keeping each Wheel Seal in good shape prolongs bearing life and keeps the Chevrolet ride quiet and confident. That means every HHR stays nimble on daily commutes, thanks to the trusted Chevrolet engineering behind the Wheel Seal and low maintenance worries.

Each OEM Chevrolet HHR Wheel Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
