Saturn 24203910 Seal Kit,Front Wheel Drive Shaft

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.

It can be pried out using a large screwdriver or the inner end of the axleshaft itself as a lever.

The driveaxle oil seals are located on the sides of the transaxle, where the driveaxles are attached.

Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, ensuring the transaxle is in Neutral with the parking brake off, and block the front wheels to prevent rolling.

To install the left-side driveaxle oil seal, follow these steps: Coat the new seal with transmission fluid. Use a seal installation tool to drive it into the bore. Use a special tool to press the new sleeve onto the stub shaft. Install a new snap-ring on the stub shaft before installing the driveaxle.

Use a screwdriver or prybar to carefully pry the oil seal out of the transaxle bore. If the oil seal cannot be removed with these tools, a special oil seal removal tool, available at auto parts stores, will be required.
