Thread: Fluid Leaking out of Axle Seal Still

Make sure the spring doesnt pop out of the back side of the seal when you are tapping it in as no spring = leak.

You wont see the spring, it is on the back side of the seal and is held by the lip molded in the back side of the seal. If you look at a new on you will see what I am talking about. It is called a worm spring and it keeps tension on the seal against the shaft. It is possible to pop the spring out while you are pounding in the new seal.
