    Axle Seal Dilemma

    Another issue again fellas lol. Axle seal is leaking pretty bad. Problem is, is that the axle seal doesnt fit correctly. I know its suppose to be somewhat of a tight fit and you gotta tape em in a bit. Problem for me is that mine slides right in and pulls right now with very little effort. Of course, this is making it not seal right and leak fluid everywhere. Anyone else have any issues like this? Any ideas on what to do? Ive gotten the seal from an auto parts store, a Honda specialist shop, and the Honda dealership. All of the fit the same. Any help is welcomed.

    Get a Genuine Seal.
    Make Sure all surfaces are clean and free of dirt or oil.
    Smear some LOCTITE SEALER around circumference of Seal. (DO NOT USE SILASTIC)
    Install seal evenly untill it is seated properly.
    Clean away excess sealant from seal edge.
    Let it sit for a couple of hours before installing Driveshaft, making sure Inner CV Joint is fully home with circlip engaged.
    If it still leaks then you may have a problem with the sealing area of the gearbox.

      make sure you have the correct seal for the correct side. If i remember correctly, When i changed the axle seal on my h22 trans the 2 seals were not exactly the same size

        Good point. I remember when I got the axle seals for my f22 trans, 1 was a couple bucks more than the other, couldn't figure out why. Perhaps 1 is bigger than the other. Even a hairs difference in size could cause your issue. Make sure to check that.

        Keep us posted

          yup, like i said, tried 3 different seals, from 3 different sources all for the driver side. Now let me ask you this......maybe i am grabbing the wrong seal. Is it suppose to be the input shaft seal or output shaft seal? Ive been askin for the input shaft seal and just looked at the O' Reillys website and noticed that the output shaft seal is a little bigger....have i just been askin for the wrong part? Someone please just tell me ive been a moron and dont have a bigger issue......
