To remove the axle seal do you just pry it open or do you have to remove the 5 bolts around it?

 

Just pry it out. But be carful you don't nick or chip where the seal is in the trans.

 

That's what i'm trying but it seems really stuck on there. Is it ok if i remove the bolts? Would i have access to the seal there?

 

I wouldn't remove that. I would just use a small pry bar and pop it out. And keep working at it. Apply a lil heat to the seal. They are a bitch to get out. And they're not the easiest to put back in either. You have to get it seated perfect, if it starts to go in Crooked you will need a new seal. When I did my trans they where stubborn.

 

I got it out. But now putting the new one is a ******* bitch. It does not want to go in whatsoever

 

Use a large socket, smaller than the size of the hole in the casting, about the size of the steel part of the seal. Tap on the socket with the hammer. This is how I do it. Works well.

 

I bought a second seal and tried that with the socket, still nothing. This thing does not want to go in..

 

Use a pvc pipe the same size of the seal
