I tried searching but all I get is a blank page.
The driver's side axle seal on my wife's Mountaineer is leaking. I read through the thread on replacing the axles, and that looks pretty straightforward, so I think I can get the axle off. My question is what's involved with replacing the seal? I just did the rear seals on it, and it was simple-- remove diff cover, pull pin, pull axle, pry out old seal, tap in new seal. Is the front axle seal on the outside edge so I can pull it and then tap in the new one?
It's not leaking a lot, but any leak is too much. It's already leaking from the rear main seal, and that's enough leaking. Vehicles leaking fluids drive me up the wall.
