CAUTION: Install the seal onto the tool before installing into the case to prevent damage to the seal.

NOTE: 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.
