Gotta get a socket to remove the driveaxle and replace the seal.

 

1 1/4" socket... and your going to need an impact gun to get the sucker off there, guarantee it... I broke 2 breakerbars, bent 2 screwdrivers and a socket before I finally caved in and borrowed my buddy's impact gun and air compressor. Good luck!

 

make sure you get a deep socket too, shallows wont really fit over the CV's with the longer end on them

 

So it isn't metric like the rest of the vehicle?

 

it is, but 1 1/4" works fine, i think its a 32 or 34 mm , not sure, i use 1 1/4 cuz i already have the socket and it fits

 

Ok ,thanks for the info. BTW-how long should I be looking at to replace the driveaxle seal?

 

if youve done it before and are fast, 15-20 minutes, if youve never done it before its hard to say,maybe an hour if evrything comes apart without too much of a fight, shouldnt be too bad to knock the CV out and the seal out of the trans, just be carefull puttin the new one in and dont foget to lube it so the axle dont tear it up as soon as you drive it, if its an AT drivers side seal have fun gettin the axle out.. theyre a bitch

 

It's a 32 mm socket and HERE is a how-to.

 

Will white lithium grease work?
