Remove the driveaxle(s).

Replacement of the driveaxle oil seals is relatively easy and can be done without removing the transaxle from the vehicle.

To replace the wheel seal in a vehicle, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands. Place the transaxle in Neutral with the parking brake off and block the front wheels to prevent rolling. Next, remove the driveaxle(s) and carefully pry out the old wheel seal using a seal removal tool or a large screwdriver, being careful not to damage the seal bore. Then, using a seal installer or a large deep socket as a drift, install the new wheel seal by driving it into the bore squarely and ensuring it is completely seated. Lubricate the lip of the new seal with multi-purpose grease and then install the driveaxle, being careful not to damage the lip of the new seal. Finally, check the differential lubricant level and add more if necessary to bring it to the appropriate level.

Wheel leaks frequently occur due to wear of the wheel seals. Replacement of these seals is relatively easy since the repairs can be performed without removing the transaxle from the vehicle. The wheel seals are located on the sides of the transaxle, where the driveaxles are attached. If leakage at the seal is suspected, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. If the seal is leaking, fluid will be found on the sides of the transaxle. To remove the left-side seal, remove the snap-ring on the stub shaft and use a screwdriver or seal removal tool to carefully pry the oil seal out of the transaxle bore. Measure the distance that the stub axle protrudes beyond the sleeve and remove the sleeve from the stub shaft using a special puller. Compare the old seal to the new one to ensure it's the correct one. For installation, coat the new seal with transmission fluid and use a seal installation tool to drive it into the bore. Use a special tool to press the new sleeve onto the stub shaft and install a new snap-ring on the stub shaft before installing the driveaxle. The right-side seal removal requires removing the snap-ring on the end of the stub shaft and using a slide hammer and puller adapter to pull out the stub axle. Remove the inner snap ring and measure the distance that the stub axle protrudes beyond the sleeve. Use a special puller to remove the sleeve from the stub shaft. For installation, use a special driver to install the new sleeve to the same depth as the original. Coat the new seal with transmission fluid and use a seal installation tool to drive it into the bore. Install new snap-rings on the stub shaft and guide the stub shaft through the seal, tapping it into place until it is seated. Install the driveaxle and check the transaxle fluid level.
