Who could possible give a negative review at this video? Thank you for the upload! I have constantly leaking from that seal I go to the repair shop and they are idiots. I am gonna fix this diy! Thanks uploader
One of the first things I had to do to my sister's 2000 MBZ E320 4MATIC (AWD) after she bought it. One front shaft seal was leaking. Fortunately you can replace these with the transmission still installed. No axle flange, axle inserts into the side with locking circlip
Heya very interesting to watch if the seal is worn, but what if there is a groove in the actual flange shaft where the seal rides on/around/against? As I have taken the stub axle flange out and the seal looks great but there is a ridge/slight indent on the axle flange?
My passenger side Axle leaks a lil bit from that part where the differential is, I guess that is the problem!! Thank you but Can one do that job with the transmision mounted in the car??
thanks first! after installing the flange back in transmission, can we wiggle/move the flange a little bit up-down-in-out-around it's location? if we can move it a little bit, is it normal free flange?
Mechanic Stuff: Would you know if the rear differential input shaft flange seal is the same part as the one you are changing? I am in the process of tackling a 98 A6 Quattro. Oil leaks from both the front diff output and rear diff input shaft flanges. Funny thing is the rear flange is held by a large nut (36 mm?) rather than the torx bolt as is in the front. I am a bit skeptical about taking the nut off from the rear. Not sure if there is anything significant about such a large nut. Could you shed some light? Thank you.
I believe the seals are the same, between the front and rear. VAG is pretty good about parts interchanges, same on my 1986 944 even. Of course this only applies to manual transmissions. I'm aware that I'm 2 years late here.
When I replaced my axles, the output shaft was bone dry, no grease like yours have. I don't think there is grease to begin with in that area. Did you add it separately?
The section of shaft that is in the differential would be covered in gear oil. A bit of axle is never a bad idea, especially on splines and where it contacts the seal.
Merry Christmas !!!! My axle flange came out do i need another cir clip it came out? I have the same setup I put the cv axle back on tighten the axle bolt and drive it two feet and it keep coming out and how do I take the cir clip off and put on?
Merry Christmas! They make these things called "circuit pliers". They basically expand the clip so it will stretch and come off the stub shaft. The clips are springy so they compress themselves back onto the shaft. Replace it if you have a new one. It might also be possible that the axle wasn't inserted deep enough in the transmission for the clip to lock into place. Good luck!
@@mechanicstuff7474 Cause I brought two and today same size I gave them your part number and they cross reference it and wrong one both times. I will go to Napa . Been a week trying to get it !!! what is the correct name cause there slow here something in the water! I even told them to double check and Oh it's the right one (NOT!!)
@@mechanicstuff7474 thanks I'm replace the gasket seal on my 06 tdi with the dsg automatic and didn't want to mess something up by using the wrong grease
Gear pullers will only pull a gear/bearing/pulley, if they are mounted on a shaft. That is because they push off in the middle while grabbing the sides.
Thanks for the video. A whole lot easier job with the transmission out of the car 😉👍

Audi? :)
Haters gonna hate.
Yeah stupid trolls. I get negatives on some uploads but no comments on why. Guess they are overdue to get laid. lol
2:43 very satisfying sound when seal came out!

Thanks one of the best videos on this ive found
Another use for the rusty hatchet I have in my tool box. Thanks

Can definitely be done with transmission still in car. I had it out for the clutch.
@@mechanicstuff7474 yeah after you remove the cv axle, there's plenty of room
thanks first!
after installing the flange back in transmission, can we wiggle/move the flange a little bit up-down-in-out-around it's location? if we can move it a little bit, is it normal free flange?
I used a harmonic balancer puller to take off. Block of wood to put back on. And BFH!

@@DS-xm2yw i'm also aware lol
Bro I have axle flange play on the left side, suspecting diff bearings. Does diff have to come out to do the bearing?
When I replaced my axles, the output shaft was bone dry, no grease like yours have. I don't think there is grease to begin with in that area. Did you add it separately?
The section of shaft that is in the differential would be covered in gear oil. A bit of axle is never a bad idea, especially on splines and where it contacts the seal.

@@mechanicstuff7474 Thank you
@@mechanicstuff7474 Car lowered with coil springs and alignment wouldn't of did this?
Does bad flange cause shuddering when accelerating?
when you did this, does it matter if the car is in gear when re inserting the axle flange
Nope
Any idea how to get out of park so i can move my car ten feet its locked in park shifter moves freely
Hello I have the same one and autozone and auto parts keep sending me a seal to big where did you get yours at? Front left side!
Got it from NAPA this time, and Pelican Parts before that.

Output shaft seal, or axle flange seal.
45 X 60 X 8 mm are the dimentions
@@mechanicstuff7474 Thanks Buddy !!!!!
Muchas gracias, llevo días intentando encontrar la forma de quitarlos, mi caja es igual, gracias ,gracias
I did my '90 Passat trans years ago. That clip popped on the highway.. I glued it in w/green loctite.. What a nightmare.
what did it sound like up until to replaced it??
I just leaked made no noise.
Thanks! Really nice video, keep it up!
what happened when, the mitle where sit the axle won't turn
nice, im hoping its the same on my C5 A6
What type of grease did you use
Redline CV-2, but anything that's on hand should work.
@@mechanicstuff7474 thanks I'm replace the gasket seal on my 06 tdi with the dsg automatic and didn't want to mess something up by using the wrong grease
You're smarter than the average bear😂
Any idea where I can buy the flange shaft?
I'd hit a junk yard if there's one that has one in your area. ECS tunning and Pelican Parts usually have just about anything available.
News one are very expensive find a good used one
Could just use a thread cutting die for more threads on the bolt.
thanks!!! good job!
Thanks
thanks!
Very good
This is what they makes gear pullers for bro
Gear pullers will only pull a gear/bearing/pulley, if they are mounted on a shaft. That is because they push off in the middle while grabbing the sides.
And also seal pullers
What type of grease was that ?
Redline CV2. It's a red moly grease.
Thanks
