2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the axle shaft wheel seal on 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: Before sleeve and seal replacement begin with raising and supporting the vehicle. First remove the drive axle assembly before taking off the snap ring as well as the stub axle seal from the axle. The output shaft sleeve remover tool (J 41227) should be used to draw out the sleeve from the stub axle. The replacement of stub Axle Shaft sleeve and seal requires performing the operation together because isolated replacement is not permissible. You must use the stub shaft sleeve installer (J 41228) to put on the new sleeve for the stub Axle Shaft while maintaining the collet inside the snap ring groove. After installing the new stub axle seal the new snap ring should be put onto the output shaft prior to placing the drive axle assembly back. The last step includes checking the sleeve of the output shaft axle for leaks while you also monitor the transmission oil level.
