Note
Make sure to check the identification marks on the oil seals before installation because the part numbers differ between the left and right sides.
To ensure a proper seal, evenly tap in the rear drive shaft oil seal LH.
When installing the oil seal, tap it in until its surface is flush with the rear differential carrier.
Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values is less than 0.88 mm (0.0346 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
