Guest TurboSedan Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 just a tip for installing axle seals.... i got this thing at ACE hardware. i think it's some kind of electrical conduit coupler, but the outer diameter fits around an axle seal's lip perfectly. cost less than $2 IIRC works great!

5speedz34 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Cool, but how the hell did you find that. Were you like, "ohh this would be perfect?" and pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 i went to the hardware store with the new axle seal in hand and just walked around looking for something that would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I had to do that twice when the tranny was still in the car... I hate axle seals. Did you get the correct tool to pull them with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the correct tool to pull them with? yeah i had some ultra-cheapo seal puller and i just broke it two days ago trying to pull the old seal out :? i usually end up breaking out the vice grips and tap around the lip with a small flatblade screwdriver, then end up tearing up the old seal just prying it out. old axle seals are usually stuck in pretty good from my experience.
