So this year already I have put a NEW HEAD on my 91GSX, a new clutch and axles, and recenlty a NEW TRANNY (well used, but NEW to me). I was not the one who put the tranny in cause I did not have the time while at school. I drove the car about 500miles and then i parked and noticed gear oil PISSING from the right side of the tranny. Closer inspection shows me its the damn axle seal!!! THEY NEVER CHECKED OR CHANGED THEM!!!!

I don't have any more $$ to piss on this thing. I have changed FWD axles before on some hondas, and I am hoping its not too difficult on the AWD DSMS.

Can someone give me a mini FAQ on how to change the axle seals?? I am just going to do both fronts. Like I said, I have pulled a few FWD axles on a honda before, and I am hoping it is similar on the 91 DSM. I have never changed an axle SEAL before, but I can spin wrenches pretty good, so I just need some direction on this thing.....

Thanks for the help ahead of time..... :dsm:

ON EDIT: I found the FAQ on how to take out the axles.....now I just need to know about how to take out/replace the seals....Also, if anyone has any handy tips.....thanks
 
Getting the seals out is pretty much straight forward. Use a seal puller which you probably can rent from a parts house. The real test is putting the new seals in. Use a socket that is just a tiny amount smaller in diameter than your seal. Using a hammer, drive it until it is flush with the housing. Make sure it is in square and not cocked.

Fill the transmission and enjoy.
