• Q: How to replace the Wheel Seal on 2008 Mazda Tribute?

  A: Lift the back of the vehicle and place it on jackstands making sure the transaxle is in Neutral and the parking brake is off. Block the front wheels to avoid rolling. Installation Remove the driveaxle(s) or driveshaft, and, when replacing the input shaft seal, removed the driveshaft flange nut or bolt, labeling the flange and input shaft before doing so. Tightly loosen up the oil seal with a seal removal tool or a big screw driver without damaging the seal bore. Install the new oil seal through the installation of a seal installer or large deep socket as a drift ensuring that it is driven into the bore in a square manner and fully seated. Apply multi-purpose grease to the lip of the new seal, and screw in the drive axle or driveshaft flange, taking care not to scratch the lip of the seal. Lastly, verify the level of the differential lubricant and fill up as required to attain the right level.
