I'm bussy to work on my car and repair the rear bearing and seal...

I have put out the axel shaft....

But now I have a big problem....the seal won't come out and it's a real mess now...

See photo by night...but you see th emess and damage...

The seal has an iron cast who i can't get out of the axel house.....

what do i do now?

 

use a pull hammer

 

Thanx for the fast reaction !!

I was verry worried that I had ****ed up my axelhouse....it looks that the iron cast of the seal is one(melted) with the axel house...

Tomorrow I lean a pull hammer by an local garage.....

 

Yep, a slide/pull hammer and gently work it out. It looks like your bearing/seal has been replaced before with one of the one piece replacements.

 

the job is done......thanx for the advice

 

I was highway driving and towing when I noticed a bad smell. I thought I was burning transmission fluid. Turns out it was the rear bearings and seal. I had to get a bearing and seal replacement and pull the axel out on the side of the road. It looked like the axle shaft was worn in the seal area but I had to repair as best I could at the time. My question is should I have had to knock on the bearing/seal repair cup to the axel housing with some force? Mine just slid right in. `

 

Old post with out an answer - thought I'd fill in the blank in case someone needs the info. in the future.

Just changed my rear bearings and seals out yesterday - they most definately do no "slide right in" or out. Mine required a bearing puller (seal came out easily using the end of the axle) and a bearing/seal driver to install the new parts.

If yours just slid right in, I have to guess you'll experience a leak and/or failure in the not too distance future....?
