Oil leaks appear to be common on the basis of used wheel seals which are fairly easy to replace since the repair can usually be done without the removal of the transaxle from the car. Wheel seals are placed at the sides of the transaxle since the driveaxles are fixed there. If there is an observation of leakage at the seal, the vehicle must be raised and supported on jackstands; when the seal is leaking, a greasy substance will be noticed on the sides of the transaxle and below the seal. First, it is necessary to demount the driveaxles, while the seal is extracted with a screwdriver or a prybar inserting its tip behind the seal and pry it out from the transaxle bore. If these tools do not suffice and the seal is not easily removed, a specific seal removal tool, which can be bought from an auto parts store, will have to be utilised. In fitting the new seal, one can use a seal driver or a big deep socket which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the seal as the drift, one sees to it that the new seal is driven squarely into the bore and that it bottoms fully. Using transaxle lubricant, refer to step 4, carefully cover the seal lip without damaging it, this shall be done before installation of the driveaxles.
