  Q: How to replace the Wheel Seal in Manual transaxle on Honda Fit?

  A: Leakages result from worn seals or O-rings, and replacement of such parts is fairly easy since most of the time they can be replaced without having to remove the transaxle from the car. Wheel Seals are located on the sides of the transaxle, close to where the inner ends of the driveaxles are coupled with the side gears of the differential. This is especially important if one or both Wheel Seals are considered to be leaking, then check the vehicle on a jackstand and you will find the lubricant dripping on the side of the transaxle beneath the seal. The repair starts by the removal of the driveaxle or the driveaxle and intermediate shaft if available on the vehicle. Slowly remove the seal from the transaxle bore with either the help of a screwdriver or a seal removal tool without any harm to the seal bore to avoid leaks from the new seal. Replace the Wheel Seal with a new one using the seal driver or large deep socket to be sure that it is well centered and dammed, while on the lip of the new seal applying multi-purpose grease. Last but not least, fit the driveaxle or driveaxle and intermediate shaft without damaging the lips of the new seals and ensure the transaxle lubricant is at the right level, topping up to achieve the right level.
