[DML] Re: Axel seal replacement tricks

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Knut,

Dave & Dave are right of course. Especially regarding not adjusting 
that pre-load nut on the driver's side. Rob Grady confirmed this for 
me, just in case you wanted to hear it from an actual service 
provider.

The only important thing I want to add here, is that you should 
exercise care when prying out the old seal with a screwdriver. If 
you gouge the casing it'll leak around the outside. The rubber seal 
has a metal ring in it so it can be difficult to wedge the 
screwdriver in between the seal and the transmission casing and it 
can make it difficult to pry out. I recommend starting with a small, 
fine, flat tip screwdriver to make the initial insertion then once 
you've wedged a space step up to a larger screwdriver to pry out the 
seal.

A new flange is expensive. PJ Grady's flange collar is cheaper.

Hope I wasn't too redundant,

Rich A.
