Guys buy the seals from the dealership. I spent a week buying from auto parts they all have the same manufacturer for these and they dont fit. Just saving you some time with my experience.

On a 2005 civic i took the nut off the axle but used a air gun... Didn't remove the lower control arm. Just the brake line bolt, I removed the bolts from the upper, and used jack to hold up the the lower control arm. Also used a pry bar screwdriver to remove the axle. The seal was dry rotted on i had to pick and peel it off and i use a heat gun to get the remainder off. I use a little grease on the new seal and hit it on with a hammer. Then put everything back on

So if u have an issue installing the axle in the trans side check the pin. I actually had to take the pin off the stock axle and put it to the aftermarket axle to get it to slide in. A couple of pics helps to remove the PIN from the aftermarket axle

As always, excellent videos. When loosenimng tight nuts, I set the breaker bar to about 10 o' clock so gravity/body weight assists the turn.

Use grease/oil around the outside of the seal to help it go in or not use grease/oil?

I have a 2004 Honda Accord ex 2.4 the guy who sold me the car told me the tranny was rebuild Becuase there was a tiny crack in the seal so I started seeing fluid leak time to time and I would get that jerkin feeling or high rpm (low fluid due to it leaking somehwere) took it to one of my homeboy he found out it was the axle seal not the trans I was really getting ready to start selling it if there was no hope I appreciate this video man

I just got my 2013 RDX back from my mechanic after my major 105K service. Water pump, timing belt etc.He told me I had a small leak, ATF fluid.. and I need to replace my axle and the axle seal. I've never heard of ATF leaking from the axle. Didn't know it was actually a thing?? After watching this I guess it is a thing. He recommended me to also replace the axle. Anyone know why this is?

How much hours it will take to fix this

@taterlysaladman9377 Жыл бұрын

20 minutes to actually do the job. 30 minutes to get the car jacked up and wheel off and ready. Four hours to get the outside axle end free, including time to bandage up and stop the blood flowing. Two days and begging the brother in law to help get the transaxle pulled out, over time the cheap metals bond together and it takes about 300 pounds of force to remove the transaxle from it's happy little hole. A week waiting for a seal the right size to be delivered from amazon. Since no video on earth shows how much to beat it into place, you beat it and it disappears into the trans. Which is a blessing cause the only thing harder than getting the transaxle out is getting the new one in. By the time you do beat it into position, usually the boots on both ends are ripped and you have to start all over. Buy rear wheel drive cars with disk brakes on all four wheels folks. Front wheel drive was and is a bad idea.

8:15 I have a very large leak under this axle so I thought it was ATF coming from a blown seal. But based on this, I'm thinking I'm wrong. I expected fluid to be pouring out.
