Need Help With Driver Axle Seal


Kauz

Recommended Posts

All,

I am replacing the axle seal on the driver side on a 97 ES300 and I can't get the seal to seat in properly. I am using an oil filter socket to drive it in with a hammer. The socket fits over the outer wall of the seal perfectly but I get the seal to go in 2/3 of the way and then it won't go in any further and eventually it will go in crooked and I have to pull it out. I've already ruined two good seals.

I've replaced several seals in the past: cam shaft, crank shaft, other axle seals, but I just can't get this one to seat in right. Has anyone ever replaced this seal that can give me some tips.

Thanks,

Kauz
