• Q: How to replace the Wheel Seal on the Automatic Transmission - 4 Speed-MS7 on 2001 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: The procedure for drive Axle Shaft seal replacement on automatic transmission - 4 speed-ms7 begins by properly supporting and lifting the vehicle. You must remove the 6 bolts connecting to the left splash shield before removing the front tire and wheel as the next step. The drive axle must first be removed from the vehicle before using j26941 pinion shaft and countergear bearing cup remover (J26941) with j23907 slide hammer (J23907) to extract the drive Axle Shaft fluid seal from the transaxle. A smooth and damage-free differential-side joint surface of the drive axle assembly requires inspection; replace the differential-side joint in case any damage is detected. The j35553 differential side bearing seal installer (J35553) requires a hammer for driver-side mounting or a combination of hammer and socket for the installation of the new drive Axle Shaft fluid seal inside the transaxle. Saturate the new seal lip with j36850 Transmission Assembly lubricant (J36850) before installing the drive axle into the vehicle while placing the front tire and wheel. Use 6 bolts to fasten the left splash shield while tightening them to 5 nm (44 inch lbs.). Complete the task by lowering the vehicle before adding more fluid to the transaxle as required.
