Problem
Oil leak detected at the rear wheel, suspected to be originating from a leaking rear axle seal.
Solution
The rear axle seal can be replaced individually without replacing the entire hub assembly.
Procedure
- Drain the differential oil.
- Unbolt the brake caliper.
- Remove the brake disc.
- Remove the four bolts holding the axle carrier flange to the axle tube.
- Slide out the axle carrier flange assembly. This will expose the rear axle seal.
- Replace the rear axle seal.
- Replace the O-ring located between the axle tube and the flange.
- Reassemble in reverse order.
While the assembly is apart, inspect the following:
- Handbrake shoes
- Brake pistons
