Saturn 24203910 Seal Kit,Front Wheel Drive Shaft

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.

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 wheel 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 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.

A common cause of oil leaks is the wear of driveaxle oil seals. Fortunately, the replacement of these seals can be done relatively easily without removing the transaxle from the vehicle.

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

To remove the left-side driveaxle oil seal, follow these steps: Remove the snap-ring on the stub shaft. 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.

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.

When installing the driveaxle assembly, be careful not to damage the lip of the new seal.

Drive the new oil seal into the bore squarely and ensure it is completely seated.

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

No, the driveaxle oil seals are relatively easy to replace without removing the transaxle from the vehicle.
