unccpathfinder Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 are you talking about the grease seal on the CV side of the spindle? just making sure you're not talking about the rear axle inner seal... if it is the front inner seal you can search for wheel bearing replacements or look in the how-to section I'm sure theres something there...but pretty much you remove the hubs, remove the caliper, remove spindle locknut and bearing, remove the rotor/spindle assembly then you can replace the seals and install in reverse order... while your at it search up spindle lock nut tool and see how you can make your own instead of purchasing the expensive nissan one or use the punch/hammer routine but i think that is a bad way to do it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 passenger rear internal hub seal You missed a line there, unccpathy. To do the axle seal in the rear requires pulling an axleshaft out of the axle. You have to remove the wheel, then the brake caliper/disc/drum, e-brake cable aaaaaand...I think that's about it. Pull the axle, pull the seal, tap new seal in, put axle back in and bolt everything back up. It's not that bad if you have the tools. I've done it before.

Coucoui6 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 yes the inner seal retains the rear gear oil. i was hoping to find a write up ... my manual from autozone is okay at best. personal write ups are much better with more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
