i just want a front axle seal replacement write up... why cant i find one...

ok so I found that my front driver side axle seal is busted. im not entirely to sure how to replace it and I have had zero luck finding a write up on it in any forums. could anyone just give me the quick run down on how to do it? possibly pics? maybe a link on a "how to". im desperate.

Drain trans, remove axle with drain pan under trans to catch extra fluid, replace seal, reinstall axle, fill trans, clean up any spilled fluid. Maybe you should have a shop do it if you can't figure it out from here..

With a seal press kit, Or, if you have the CORRECT size socket, a socket and a hammer will suffice

If you have one locally, the Harbor Freight seal press kit should do the job just fine without breaking the bank.
