I've got a leaky passenger side axle shaft seal. Now, how hard is this to replace? I had little to no time to do it tonight and was wanting to tackle it tomorrow after work when I have the part. I've never had problems with this before but apparently this is the problem. I tried to pry on it a little with no results and was afraid to accidentally cause more damage to the transmission than what is already wrong. Marcus, I'm going to guess you've probably had experience with this, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Here we go. Yet again my car manages to fool me. I got the trans leak fixed, the new seal pressed into the casing in no time and everything went back together flawlessly. Now with all my leaks fixed I hopped in it and fired it up. The computer was still learning the fuel map after the battery was unplugged for so long and I was running entirely too rich. So rich in fact that there is still a black dust spot of unburnt fuel on the back wall of my garage during a WOT rev. Then I hopped out to get a better look at my car and marvel in my astounding mechanical abilities when I noticed something spilling onto the floor. More leaks!!! Now, it's coolant. Somehow the top hose just under the thermostat housing split itself and decided to dump precious coolant all over my garage floor. Oh well, at least this fix will take less time. Maybe then I'll fill it with gear oil and have a little backroads matchup with a certain FWD laser.
