Q: How to replace the inner rear axle wheel seal on Cadillac Escalade?
A: Starting the inner rear Axle Shaft seal change requires vehicle elevation then tire wheel removal and Differential assembly followed by axle shafts removal. The process starts with positioning the smallest expanding driver and small driving washer onto the expander assembly where the driver separation lines should match the assembly lines. Stack the expander assembly to the driver bar extension before placing it onto the drive bar. Use the camshaft bearing service set (J33049) to penetrate the Axle Shaft seal while tightening the expander assembly nut on the driving bar until the expanding driver fixes tightly. To eliminate the seal from its position use the camshaft bearing service set (J33049) alongside hammer blows. Install the drive bar extension on the drive bar from the camshaft bearing service set (J33049) before you insert it into the divergent Axle Shaft tube. Place the Differential seal installer - inner (J45177) on top of the camshaft bearing service set (J33049) as you slide the Axle Shaft seal into the proper placement in the axle tube. Drive the Axle Shaft seal into the axle tube with a combination of the Differential seal installer - inner (J45177) and the camshaft bearing service set (J33049) together with a hammer. The procedure ends with replacement of the Differential assembly along with axle shafts and tire and wheel assembly before lowering the vehicle.
Q: How to replace the outer rear axle wheel seal on Cadillac Escalade EXT?
A: The repair process for replacing an outer rear Axle Shaft seal begins with vehicle elevation and tire-wheel absence. The first step requires you to take out the Axle Shaft from its position. After that remove the Axle Shaft seal. Start by installing the new Axle Shaft seal then put on the Axle Shaft prior to reattaching the tire and wheel assembly followed by lowering the vehicle.
Q: How to replace the Front Drive Axle Inner Wheel Seal and Inner Shaft Bearing on Cadillac Escalade ESV?
A: The replacement of front drive axle inner shaft seal and inner shaft bearing requires the following set of tools: universal driver handle (J 8092), slide hammer (J 2619-01), bushing and bearing remover (J 29369-1), bushing and bearing remover (2-3 inch) (J 29369-2), axle tube bearing installer (J 36609), and axle seal installer (J 45225). First drain the differential carrier assembly while the vehicle remains in the raised position. Remove the right side seal or bearing by extracting the inner Axle Shaft with housing from the differential carrier case assembly then removing the Clutch Fork components until you reach the inner Axle Shaft in the inner Axle Shaft housing. Mount the inner Axle Shaft housing inside a vise while using either j 29369-1 or j 29369-2 bushing and bearing remover devices after the inner Axle Shaft seal or bearing. The bushing and bearing remover joins the slide hammer (J 2619-01) to extract the inner Axle Shaft seal or bearing. Installation of right side bearing requires the axle tube bearing installer (J 36609) with universal driver handle (J 8092) before installing new Axle Shaft seal using axle seal installer (J 45225) and universal driver handle (J 8092). Insert the inner Axle Shaft into position slowly with a soft-faced mallet then put all inner shaft housing components back together. The same installation process should be performed for the left side bearing and seal using the same tools after both components are removed. At the end of the process install the correct fluid within the differential carrier assembly then lower the vehicle.
