Helo all: I noticed drips in the driveway and looked underneath only to find the driver side axle seal is leaking from where the axle goes into the gearbox. My car is 1996 Celica Hatchback ST. 7AFE engine. Is this something that can be done at home? I have never replace the axle before. Any help or link to someone who has done it here would be nice. I do have the factory Service manual.
Thank You in Advance. msk |

Thanks Cheela. I think the axle nut would be tough but overall does not sound too bad. If I can get the OEM seal ordered then I will tackle it during the holidays.

When I did mine I used a 24" breaker bar, and then ended up putting a 6 foot long metal bar over top of that for more leverage and less effort. It broke free relatively easy. The hardest part was finding the correct socket size, I believe its a 32mm. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
