How to Replace Wheel Seals in a Transaxle on a 1997-2001 Toyota Avalon?

Fluid leaks frequently occur due to wear of the driveaxle oil seals or the speedometer drive gear oil seal and O-rings, with replacement being relatively easy as repairs can usually be performed without removing the transaxle from the vehicle. The driveaxle oil seals are located on either side of the transaxle, where the driveaxle shaft is splined into the differential; if leakage is suspected, the vehicle should be raised and securely supported on jackstands, and fluid will be found on the side of the transaxle if the seal is leaking. To replace the seal, the driveaxle assembly must be removed, and if replacing the right-side driveaxle seal, the intermediate shaft and driveaxle assembly should be removed as a single unit. The old oil seal can be carefully pried out of the transaxle bore using a screwdriver or prybar, ensuring not to gouge or nick the surface of the seal bore; if it cannot be removed this way, a special oil seal removal tool will be required. A large section of pipe or a large deep socket can be used as a drift to install the new oil seal, ensuring it is driven into the bore squarely and completely seated, with the lip of the new seal lubricated with multi-purpose grease. The driveaxle assembly should then be reinstalled, taking care not to damage the lip of the new seal. The vehicle speed sensor and speedometer driven gear housing are located on the differential part of the transaxle housing, and lubricant around the sensor housing can indicate if the O-ring is leaking. The electrical connector from the vehicle speed sensor should be disconnected, and the sensor and speedometer driven gear housing removed from the transaxle, followed by the removal of the O-ring. A new O-ring should be installed on the driven gear housing before reinstalling the speedometer driven gear and vehicle speed sensor housing, ensuring the hold-down bolt is tightened securely. For V6 models, the direct clutch speed sensor seal is located on the transaxle housing, and lubricant around the sensor housing can indicate if the O-ring is leaking. The electrical connector from the direct clutch speed sensor should be disconnected, and the sensor removed from the transaxle, followed by the removal of the O-ring. A new O-ring should be installed on the sensor body before reinstalling the direct clutch speed sensor, ensuring the hold-down bolt is tightened securely.

How to remove, overhaul, and install front Axle Shaft and Wheel Seal on Toyota Land Cruiser?

To remove the freewheel hub, start by taking off the front wheel bearing assembly. Next, detach the bolts that secure the brake backing plate and spindle to the steering knuckle, then remove the backing plate, including the eight spindle mounting bolts, dust seal, and cover. If the vehicle has front drum brakes, remove the complete brake assembly and secure it aside without disconnecting the hydraulic line. Tap the spindle with a soft-faced hammer to separate it from the steering knuckle, and inspect the spindle bushing for wear, replacing it if necessary. If equipped with anti-lock brakes, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the speed sensor. Turn the axleshaft until the flat spot on the CV housing aligns with the top of the steering knuckle, then pull it straight out of the axle housing, being careful not to damage the axleshaft seal. If replacing the axleshaft oil seal, use a suitable puller to remove it from the housing. For overhaul, secure the inner axleshaft in a vise with soft jaws or wood, then use a brass drift and hammer to drive off the joint and outer shaft. Remove the ball bearings from the inner race and cage one at a time, then tilt the cage and inner race to pull them out. Remove the inner race from the cage by aligning its lands with the cage openings, turning it 90 degrees, and pulling it out. Clean and inspect the inner parts of the joint for wear or damage, replacing any necessary components. To reassemble, coat the inner parts and the inside of the outer shaft with molybdenum disulfide grease, insert the inner race into the cage, and ensure the protruding end of the inner race aligns with the wide side of the cage. Assemble the cage and inner race to the outer shaft, ensuring proper orientation, and install new snap-rings on the inner axleshaft. Place the CV joint in the vise and install the axleshaft while compressing the inner snap-ring with a screwdriver, ensuring the axleshaft cannot be pulled out of the joint. If necessary, install a new oil seal and lubricate the splines on the inner end of the axleshaft with grease, keeping it straight as you insert it through the steering knuckle and into the axle tube, ensuring proper engagement with the differential. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal.

About Toyota Wheel Seal

Designed to provide protection from contaminants, to reduce friction and to lower the heat produced by a rotating wheel, a Toyota wheel seal is an integral part which keeps you safely rolling down the highway. The wheel seals in your Toyota will be located in the brake hub of each wheel. Although it's made with the finest materials, a wheel seal can definitely wear out over time. Exposure to heaps of dirt, excessive heat and too much dust can contribute to early wheel seal failure.
To replace older wheel seals, jack up your vehicle, remove the wheel, remove the wheel hub, then remove the seal and wheel bearing. Next you'll prep the installation surface to be very clean to accept the new wheel seal replacement. Newer vehicle wheel seals may not even require removal of the wheel bearing to replace the wheel seal correctly. Due to the complexities that can be involved with installing and removing the bearing, the task at hand is uncommon for most DIYers to do. Buying and reinstalling a brand new Toyota wheel seal is the best way to know that you're repairing your vehicle with a part which was specifically engineered for your model.
There is a good piece of news that you can save up to 32 bucks every time you spend 100 dollars on buying genuine OEM Toyota part from us. We sincerely treat customers and offer the best shopping experience to everyone. The price we provide is cheap and affordable so that you do not need to buy aftermarket parts any more, and you are trouble-free on any aftermarket parts. We are always your first choice when you need to buy a brand new and high quality Toyota genuine part. What are you waiting for? It is so easy.

Toyota Wheel Seal Parts Questions & Experts Answers

Q: How to Replace Wheel Seals in a Transaxle on a 1997-2001 Toyota Avalon?
A: Fluid leaks frequently occur due to wear of the driveaxle oil seals or the speedometer drive gear oil seal and O-rings, with replacement being relatively easy as repairs can usually be performed without removing the transaxle from the vehicle. The driveaxle oil seals are located on either side of the transaxle, where the driveaxle shaft is splined into the differential; if leakage is suspected, the vehicle should be raised and securely supported on jackstands, and fluid will be found on the side of the transaxle if the seal is leaking. To replace the seal, the driveaxle assembly must be removed, and if replacing the right-side driveaxle seal, the intermediate shaft and driveaxle assembly should be removed as a single unit. The old oil seal can be carefully pried out of the transaxle bore using a screwdriver or prybar, ensuring not to gouge or nick the surface of the seal bore; if it cannot be removed this way, a special oil seal removal tool will be required. A large section of pipe or a large deep socket can be used as a drift to install the new oil seal, ensuring it is driven into the bore squarely and completely seated, with the lip of the new seal lubricated with multi-purpose grease. The driveaxle assembly should then be reinstalled, taking care not to damage the lip of the new seal. The vehicle speed sensor and speedometer driven gear housing are located on the differential part of the transaxle housing, and lubricant around the sensor housing can indicate if the O-ring is leaking. The electrical connector from the vehicle speed sensor should be disconnected, and the sensor and speedometer driven gear housing removed from the transaxle, followed by the removal of the O-ring. A new O-ring should be installed on the driven gear housing before reinstalling the speedometer driven gear and vehicle speed sensor housing, ensuring the hold-down bolt is tightened securely. For V6 models, the direct clutch speed sensor seal is located on the transaxle housing, and lubricant around the sensor housing can indicate if the O-ring is leaking. The electrical connector from the direct clutch speed sensor should be disconnected, and the sensor removed from the transaxle, followed by the removal of the O-ring. A new O-ring should be installed on the sensor body before reinstalling the direct clutch speed sensor, ensuring the hold-down bolt is tightened securely.

Q: How to remove, overhaul, and install front Axle Shaft and Wheel Seal on Toyota Land Cruiser?
A: To remove the freewheel hub, start by taking off the front wheel bearing assembly. Next, detach the bolts that secure the brake backing plate and spindle to the steering knuckle, then remove the backing plate, including the eight spindle mounting bolts, dust seal, and cover. If the vehicle has front drum brakes, remove the complete brake assembly and secure it aside without disconnecting the hydraulic line. Tap the spindle with a soft-faced hammer to separate it from the steering knuckle, and inspect the spindle bushing for wear, replacing it if necessary. If equipped with anti-lock brakes, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the speed sensor. Turn the axleshaft until the flat spot on the CV housing aligns with the top of the steering knuckle, then pull it straight out of the axle housing, being careful not to damage the axleshaft seal. If replacing the axleshaft oil seal, use a suitable puller to remove it from the housing. For overhaul, secure the inner axleshaft in a vise with soft jaws or wood, then use a brass drift and hammer to drive off the joint and outer shaft. Remove the ball bearings from the inner race and cage one at a time, then tilt the cage and inner race to pull them out. Remove the inner race from the cage by aligning its lands with the cage openings, turning it 90 degrees, and pulling it out. Clean and inspect the inner parts of the joint for wear or damage, replacing any necessary components. To reassemble, coat the inner parts and the inside of the outer shaft with molybdenum disulfide grease, insert the inner race into the cage, and ensure the protruding end of the inner race aligns with the wide side of the cage. Assemble the cage and inner race to the outer shaft, ensuring proper orientation, and install new snap-rings on the inner axleshaft. Place the CV joint in the vise and install the axleshaft while compressing the inner snap-ring with a screwdriver, ensuring the axleshaft cannot be pulled out of the joint. If necessary, install a new oil seal and lubricate the splines on the inner end of the axleshaft with grease, keeping it straight as you insert it through the steering knuckle and into the axle tube, ensuring proper engagement with the differential. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal.
