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 |

OK I got it done last night. The dealer gave me the wrong seal so had to get one from Autozone. Pulling the axle out took about 15 minutes of struggle but came out eventually. Breaker bar helped with axle nut. I bought seal puller from harbor Freight and it worked like a charm. So Car is back on the road, no leaks so far fingers crossed. the seal was in pretty bad shape.
I want to thank all of you who helped me guide through the process. MSK |
