    As stated, keep seal flush on outside, not bottomed out in diff as it wont seal on cv flange. Good luck took me 2 tries.

    A correctly fitted piece of PVC pipe is money in the bank for properly seating the new seal!

    Also, be careful not to tear the seal when you reinsert the CV axle. Treat it like a lady, not a toothless old Mexican whore.

    yeah i tried it was rough but i believe it is not torn. I ended up putting the axle in then putting it back through the wheel hub lining it all up and hitting it in with the hammer.

    Why do these seals fail? Can rough trails and bouncing off rocks be a cause

    Passenger side needs to be set to a specific depth. The driver side has a lip on the inside that will stop the seal from going in too far. I think a 2" PVC tube will help. Even better if you have a seal driver
