Tech Note 4: Seals and Tools Must Match
Due to the way we have to make the tool to function, your Seal Installer and Seal MUST match.QT1136 Installer will only work with original equipment design, NOK manufactured seals such as our QU40159. Seals manufactured by other seal manufacturers WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS INSTALLER!!!!

Tech Note 5: Seal Remover Tool Set
Once the axle is disassembled, the old seals can be easily removed with our QK4647 Seal Remover Tool Set or other suitable tool such as a length of sturdy pipe that will fit inside the axle tube. You will also need to clean the inside of the axle tube to remove dirt and crud that could get pushed into your new seal during reassembly.
