So this weekend I decided to tackle the passenger side axle of my 95 st. Well after a long removal process I got the old one out and got the new one in. I bought a seal from Advance Auto, and it just slipped over the axle shaft and seems to cover the hole where the shaft slips into the transmission. The problem that I am having now is there is a very small leak coming from the transmission where the axle goes in.
Any help on what might be causing this would be much appreciated. Let me know if any extra info would be helpful. |

its possible the new seal isnt aligned correctly, im not sure what to do to fix that. perhaps a large socket could be used to ensure that the seal sits flush. i didnt change the seals when i changed my axles and i havent had an issue with leaks. it really didnt occur to me at the time to change them.
