Assembly Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Install the seal onto the tool before installing into the case to prevent damage to the seal.
IMPORTANT:
When you remove a drive axle from the transmission for any reason, inspect the axle sealing surface (tripot shank) for corrosion. If corrosion is evident, clean the surface with a 320 grit cloth or equivalent. Clean off any remaining debris with automatic transmission fluid. Wipe the surface dry and reinstall the drive axle free of any build up.
Use J 34115 in order to install the left side axle oil seal assembly (409). See Special Tools .
