fwdturbobov1996 said:you helped me with questions about this earlier. Its on / in the tranny. wehre the axle goes into the tranny. that rubber thing. Is it actually all rubber or is it metal as well?

. came off easy first time but now its a bi***, will pry it off here soon. But I took a pair of needle nose plies and pulled on the axle seal, well this thin rubber piece came off, and there is still the seal actually in the tranny , its metal/rubber and im going to try and pry it out with a screwdriver. Aovsi i thought you said it wasnt metal at all? just really hard, hopefully i ordered the right parts.fwdturbobov1996 said:K got under there just now.

the seal is rubber but the outer wall and top(part tranny mates to )of the seal is reinforced with metel. I believe it also has a spring around the inner area that hold the seal against the axle. If you tear off the rubber it will expsoe the metel, which is what your probably seeing... use a prybar it surprised me when i took mine out that its not as easy as your typical "seal" to remove.fwdturbobov1996 said:K got under there just now.
