To replace the driveaxle oil seals, first remove the wheel and the loosening of the wheel lug nuts, then jack up the rear of the vehicle and support on jack stands while blocking the front wheels. Switch-engine cars have been provisionally divided into six categories: remove the wheel and the driveaxle. As for the side oil seals in the rear
Differential you are able to pry them using a large screwdriver or seal removal tool. Replacing the seal requires the new seal to be coerced into place by a seal installer or a large socket slightly below the outside diameter of the seal. Reinstall the driveaxle with the new seal although, the new seal must not be in contact with the splines of the shaft to avoid damaging it. The rest of the installation is done in the reverse of the removal procedure while paying attention to the differential lubricant level and topping it up if necessary. Then fit back the wheel followed by the lugs and when you are through, raise the car, then tighten the lugs to the recommended torque. As for the pinion shaft oil seal, further lift the rear of the vehicle and secure the car on some stands and finally detach the driveshaft. For the initially set models built before 2013 or for the Rogue Select models built after 2014, make match marks on the pinion flange and shaft, use a wrench to loosen the pinion flange nut while holding the flange, and then, remove the flange. Remove the seal from the Electric Controlled Coupling with the help of the seal removal tool and fit a new one it parallel to the face of the coupling with the help of the seal driver. To the seal lips apply multi-purpose grease, then position the flange pinion on the match marks and tighten the nut to required torque. Replace the driveshaft and look at the amount of lubricant there is in the rear differential. For 2014 and later models (excluding Rogue Select), you have to disconnect the Electric Controlled Coupling, then the seal can be pried from the differential housing, and the new seal should be fitted until it is just slightly below the surface of the housing using a seal driver, to be exact, the setting is 0.031 to 0.047-inch below the surface. Replace the Electric Controlled Coupling, the driveshaft, and examine the rear differential lubricant's level whether it is full or needs a refill.
