2000 chevy tracker puddle size of basketball out of rear axle hub. when the seal goes, would that be extreme

1. Jack up the vehicle: Use a floor jack to lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground.
2. Remove the wheel: Remove the wheel and tire from the rear axle.
3. Access the seals: Locate the rear outer seals on the axle and remove any retaining clips that hold them in place.
4. Remove the old seals: Use a seal puller or a flat-blade screwdriver to carefully remove the old seals. Be careful not to damage the axle or surrounding components during this process.
5. Clean the axle: Clean the surface of the axle where the new seals will be installed to ensure a proper seal.
6. Install the new seals: Carefully place the new seals onto the axle and secure them in place with the retaining clips.
7. Replace the wheel: Replace the wheel and tire and lower the vehicle back to the ground.

It may be helpful to have a service manual for your vehicle on hand, as well as specialized tools such as a seal puller or a bearing packer. In addition, a clean and well-lit workspace will help make the process easier.

the page even has the free 1996 FSM. link.
to read all steps. and this page above corrects
GM's (GEO) errors.

the real question is, are the inboard axles ends locked in the pig (3rd member gear carriers, or side gears)
answer is NO 1989 to 2004.

the seals are all sold at rockauto.com
you can look there and see lots of seals.
and the part numbers there are real.
and see what years it fits. all on one page.
posted 1000s of times this fact.

what i do is find who makes them then the p/n
then find them local but searching.
there is no other fast way.
go to GM and beg for seals.
they go GEO what?

Hello, If you Chrysler has replaceable wheel bearings and seal. This is the way it goes---pack the wheel bearing with new grease-install the bearing in the wheel nub--install new back wheel seal--coat the axle shaft with grease lightly, thing coat-----install wheel hub on to axle shaft...be careful here don't damage the rear hub seal------------insert front race washer---install axle shaft nut--tighten nut down wheel nut until it is firm with water pump pliers----spin the hub/with tire mounted.
(the wheel and hub will turn but not freely)----take the pliers and back off the axle nut 1/4 turn----now spin the wheel and axle hub, it should spin freely---now if doesn't spin freely---back off the axle nut about 1/16 or 1/32 (or just a little bit)-----now, spin the wheel and hub and if turn freely------------Now grab the top of the wheel/tire and move it back and forth.-----if there is some movement ---try tighten the axle nut just a little little bit, unit the one can barely feel some little movement in the wheel/tire and hub.-----------Now, spin the wheel/tire and hub and it should also turn freely.

If it does----install new and correct size of cotter pin and bent the ends around the axle nut.----

coat the inside of the hub cup with grease. Now, use an rubber or plastic hammer to install the cup on the wheel/tire hub. You are finished with one wheel bearing maintenance. Now do the other side.



I really don't know if you Chrysler Cirrus has replaceable wheel bearing. All the auto/trucks have replaceable hubs, that means that the replacement is total hub with axle shaft, sealed bearings, and seals. This is bolt to each wheel steering hub. This work to remove these one unit hubs.

Four bolts hold the axle hub to the steering hub. Hear is the problem!! it has rusted to the steering hub. Also, these hubs cost more than replacing bearings, races, seals to cool turn of $180 to $250+ I wish you luck in your replacement of wheel bearing on your Chrysler. GB..stewbison

Depending on what size your axle is.If you have bolts(6or8) at the very end of the hub.You remove all of the bolts the smack the end of the hub with a hammer to pop out the wedges in the stud holes.If there is just the shaft/plate with studs the you will need to remove the punkin cover and there will be a retainer bolt that holds a 1/2"-3/4" pin.When you get the pin to fall out you will be able to pull the axle shaft out to remove and replace the seal.

reason u replaced the cv the first time ?? problem could be the hub has play or trans/engine mount went bad causing the motor and trans unit to flex under acceleration and braking-- check ur axle lengths by measuring old original to the new ones before swapping out again

DOES IT HAVE FREEWHEELING HUBS?

take off the housing cover in the middle of the rear end and to each side there is a retainer clip for each side. Pull it out and that side comes out. I don't think you needed to remove the rear end to do this though.

i bet a photo speaks 1M works.

next question will be how do i get there.
nut shell
oil of of tranny, oil of of xfr case.
all prop shafts off.
cross members off tranny.
tranny lift in place.
shifters all removed.(center console off)
unbolt bell housing from motor.
bingo, tranny is out.

or , put jack under tranny
pull motor.

remove the 'locking bolt', once the pin is out the c-clips shoud fall out unless this is a floating axle in which the axles are attached at the hub.
