<strong>I had the same issue with a leaking damaged seal. In addtion, the snap ring didn't retain the tulip and pulled out while driving. It sure leaked then. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Did you put the new seal in yourself? If so, do you have any insight to share in regard to how to go about taking the old one out and putting the new one in?

Also, were you referring above to the snap ring on the shaft? Do you know what caused it to fail? (Any "lessons learned" you could share on this process would be much appreciated.)
