Drive axle seals
Anyone recommend lubing the outside edge of new driveaxle seals at install? I got some OEM from Honda and they just don't want to jump in there..

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Drive axle seals
Ok, that's what i thought - i always have before, but just couldn't get these to drop in - turns out the LH and RH seals are different diameter.. tore one up trying to drift it in with a big socket, better to just use the old seal instead - sets it right in there nice..
