Lexus 90311-35032 Seal, Type T Oil

Leaks may happen because of wear of the wheel seals; replacing the seals is rather simple and does not require transaxle removal from a vehicle. These seals are mounted on the sides of the transaxle that is on the driveaxle shaft end connected to the differential. If the seal is leaking, fluid will be on the side of the transaxle for checking leakage, raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands securely. Starting with, strip the driveaxle, and if mending the right side driveaxle seal, then you need to also release the intermediate and the driveaxle assembly. Delicately remove the wheel seal off the transaxle bore using a screwdriver or prybar so you do not harm the surface of the seal bore. If it is challenging to get rid of the seal, then it is recommended that an oil seal removal tool is useful. When placing a new wheel seal, it can be punched into place with a seal driver or a large deep socket as a drift making sure that it is square and sets fully into the bore, while the lip of the new seal can be lubed with multi-purpose grease. Last not least, reinstall the driveaxle assembly but being very careful not to cause damage to the lip of the new seal you just installed.

Fluid leaks occasionally occur due to wear of the driveaxle oil seals.
