• Q: How to replace the right-hand axle wheel seal on 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The procedure to change right-hand axle oil seal starts by lifting and supporting your vehicle. Separate the drive axle assembly before expelling the snap ring on the stub Axle Shaft which should be discarded. Remove the transmission stub shaft with the j 6125-1b slide hammer (J 6125-1B) together with the j 38868 gear installer remover (J 38868). Pull the shaft with light force while making rotational movements until the differential snap ring drops into the differential side gear taper then discard the inner snap ring. The installer should use the j 23129 axle boot remover (J 23129) together with the j 6125-1b to remove the right-hand axle seal that exists inside the transmission assembly. Install the new seal with the j 41102 axle seal installer (J 41102) by applying a thin coating of transmission oil to the seal lip then pass the Axle Shaft through the lip seal opening without spline engagement to the seal surface. The transmission process requires installing new snap rings onto the stub shaft before inserting it using a mallet into the transmission. Reinstall the drive axle assembly before lowering the vehicle then check for any seal and shaft oil leakage as well as inspect the oil level.
