I have rear axle fluid leaking out of the backplate/axle union as seen from under the car.
I read the procedure in the shop manual; it doesn’t seem too daunting. Does anyone have any tips/wisdom for this procedure?

Thank You for your help.

I did both side last year. Straight forward. Need room enough to slide the axel out. Went to Oreilly for a free loaner slide hammer. Of course safety first.

Er lekt achterasvloeistof uit de verbinding tussen de achterplaat en de as, te zien onder de auto.
Ik heb de procedure in de werkplaatshandleiding gelezen; het lijkt me niet al te intimiderend. Heeft iemand tips/wijsheid voor deze procedure?

Bedankt voor uw hulp.
