• Q: How to replace the right drive axle wheel seal on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The first step for right drive Axle Shaft seal replacement includes vehicle lifting then supporting it with drainage placed beneath the transaxle to capture transaxle fluid leaks. First remove the right front wheel drive shaft followed by the removal of the Transfer Case when there is all-wheel drive (AWD) installed on the vehicle. The semi-circular dust cover attaching to axle seals should be discarded due to non-replacement purposes. The right drive axle seal requires removal from the transaxle using j 45000 seal remover (J 45000). Also clean the seal bore of the transaxle housing before moving forward. The j 45187 differential output shaft oil seal installer (J 45187) needs to be used to put the new right drive axle seal in position on the transaxle. Awd vehicles require the Transfer Case reinstallation before installing the right front drive shaft as maintenance proceeds toward lowering the vehicle. The use of dextron(R)iii automatic transmission fluid with this transaxle will lead to transaxle failure because the fluids are not compatible with each other. The gm t-iv fluid gm p/n 88900925 stands as the required lubricant for this transaxle. Check the transaxle fluid level as the last step.
