Honda Axle Seal: Everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask! 

Finally a decent quality video that shows yhe correct side to press in and how not to press in too far.

I been searching for a video like this that actually walk you thu the process 👍🏿

You helped me alot with the info from all your accord rebuild videos , i appreciate you. I hope you find a garage soon i know the feeling. Keep up the awesome content 👏

That’s what I just did pushed it too far inside and the leak was worse. That’s why I’m watching your video and for your advise. Thank you 🙏

Thanks man. For real. Helped alot of people.

I bought a new seal, installed it recessed to the lip. Heard so many conflicting info regarding it being recessed. Honda has a lip on my civic. I pushed it all the way in, drove fine. Today I managed to take it apart again with my finger, used silicone, and put it flush.

Been searching all day for the answer about the seal being flush with the case, I made the same mistake went a little to far in. Leaked like crazy. thanks for the info!

One of the best I need Thank you

Thank you so much for this!!

This made it look so easy.

Thanks for clearing it all up. I made the same mistake and pushed the seal in too far the first time

Well,Done!!

Is there some seals that go in further by factory specs? Just wondering about my 2006 Odyssey. Just did it and had to use my old axle shaft with seal installed backwards to beat on it and it went in more than flush. Maybe 1/8 inch or more. I hit like on your video by the way, thanks for the info!

Thank you

Thank you for this video. I watched video and still ran it in too deep. I should of made smaller taps. Gona get a new one not take a chance in too deep so it leaks.. Thanks again this are small details but they can make or break the install.

My new axle seal is not sitting 100% flush but not leaking. I tried to push it in about a mm using a plastic pry tool and screwdriver without removing it

Ty for this video I have a national seal 712551 from the local auto part store and one from Part Greek online OEM Corteco 1903521B for a 2009 Honda Pilot Driver Side AND THERE IS DIFFERNT in Design. Mine is leaking using National . Im putting in the OEM Stuff back in. to resolve the leaking problem

It doesn't necessarily have to be 100% flush, just don't press it too far in

Hell yeah , you know you stuff, and such a great car!! I know he enjoys that thing and will be happy shes not leaking oil, looks like ill be doing this soon and a camshaft seal for a d16z6, anywho thanks for the video!!

Pressed it in deep on my 07 accord automatic and it leaked twice I’m going to do it like this and hopefully it doesn’t leak lol

I'm really curious how the seals hold up under the friction? Like I just had my bearing replaced on the front of my '96 Corolla and they're open bearings so they have seals that have to be replaced and it was so messed up that I don't even think the seal was in it when I took it off I think it probably shredded but I'm looking at the CV axle shaft and looking at the rubber seal and there's also an outside dust shield but I don't think that touches but the rubber one does and I'm sitting here wondering do I need to grease that seal a little bit? How does that rubber seal sit still with the CV axle spinning inside of it without wearing out eventually? Is it because 60 to 80 mph isn't really a big deal and it's only barely touching? I'm very curious about this and I've been looking all over for an answer and I can't find it. I'm cleaning the axle shaft and the people who press the bearing didn't clean it up very well so I'm trying to make sure the seal and everything is clean and around it and I'm scared when I put it back together that it's going to rip right off or something if I don't at least rub a little grease or oil into the seal.

Good info. Question...If its leaking from the Axle seal...should it be leaking transmission oil or motor oil. 2009 Honda Civic is leaking at the driver side. Thank you

My 2013 RDX J Series driver side is leaking a bit of transmission fluid. My mechanic recommended I replace the seal and axle. Would you replace the axle if you were me? Or just the seal? OEM isn't cheap! But not sure how I feel about aftermarket. It has 105K miles. I just did the water pump and timing belt which was how we found out it was leaking.

So on the pass side of the 09 crv has a larger axle seal. How do I remove and replace that one? Same process?

How much does something like this normally cost?Love your video

I replaced my passenger side axle again due to a torn boot. When I installed the new axle it started leaking CVT fluid. Had a hard time getting the seal but it's fine now. Do seals usually fail when installing a new axle

yo im new to cars and i dont know how to identify my problem. on my eg civic when i slowly take off theres like a loud clunk sound and u can feel it in the floor board. only happens when i slowly take off or sumtimes it happens while going over a speed bump. theres lil play in my pass axle like on the trans side i can lift it up and down. my cousin said it could be my axle or maybe the seal is bad or sumthign and it doesnt sit right in the trans. any info would help. its been doing it for awhile and its annoying

What kind of honda civic was that automatic or 5 speed and what was the year of it thanks

When some people change the axle they unbolt everything but the ball joint. Which is easier?

Hi. Would you know why the axles would come out again? Mine seems to be not locked in properly

Hello I have a question to asked you I replaced the seal on my drive side on my civic It's a d series manual transmission I still keep getting fluid Barley driping out I replaced the seal three times one from honda So I finally pulled the axle back out of it I notice there's a little tiny hole inside of it Doesn't look like it's supposed to be there You see it right when you pull the seal off of it My question is is there supposed to be a little tiny hoe next to the shaft inside of the seal?

It seems kind of harsh to use the axle to push it in to the transmission case further. How is that not impacting the inner CV joint negatively.

I did all this and it was fine for a week, but now it’s leaking fluid again from the new seal 😡

Very poor design to have a seal without a stop built into the casing. Just having it flush like that on the outside is nuts. I have seen many transaxle install videos not one mentioned this, and they actually sometimes say to use the 32 mm socket to seat the seal. Our 2009 Civic transmission has been a disaster anyhow, several sensors have gone out at random times and had to drive home in low gear.

I think I put my seal too far to in

I am seal
