#78486, "plastic seal thing in tranny the goes around the axle - can it be replaced?"
I am about to seal up my tranny and get it back in the car, but I noticed that the plastic seal that goes around one of the halfshafts is in bad shape. My question is can/should I replace this? If I can, how and where do I buy those parts. I tried to knock those loose from both sides and it seemed damn impossible. I hope someone out there knows what I'm tryin to say and will give me a hand.
Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

I did one of the seals in my lebaron, but it wasn't plastic, it was metal with a spring. I used a screwedrive and a pair of pliers to pull the old one out, and used a seal driving kit to put the new back in (also used a torch and put it in the fridge to try and make it easier; it was still a pain).

its call an axle seal. its easyer if you get then out from inside the tranny but if thats too much work, then you can be carful with a flat head screw driver or chisel and get the outer edge inward and then pull it out with pliers.
