  Q: How to replace the wheel seals in a transaxle on Saturn LS1?

  A:

  The wheel seals are located on the sides of the transaxle and they are into which the inboard ends of the driveaxles are inserted. This test may be performed either when the vehicle is still on the ground or when it is on a hoist; however, if a leak is suspected, it is recommended the vehicle is lifted onto jackstands. A leaking seal will therefore display signs such as lubricant on the transaxle side of the seal. Loosen the driveaxle and again measure from the top end of the metal casing of the wheel seal to the surface of the transaxle; this measurement is very important when fixing the seal. Remove the seal from the transaxle bore with a screwdriver or prybar; if this does not work, a special seal removal tool will have to be used. This should be done by comparing the old seal with the new one to guarantee that they are compatible. Next, the lip and the outer skin of the new seal should be coated with the multi-purpose grease. Insert the new wheel seal with a seal installer or any similar tool gently into the bore so that it fits up to the distance that was earlier measured. Last but not least, replace the driveaxle, lower the car, and examine the fill level of the transaxle, topping up if empty.
