Sorry if this is a dumb question but how far in do you push the new seal into the tranny? I thought I read somewhere that Subaru uses a special tool to measure how far in the seal goes. I may be wrong but again, I thought I read someone say that you can push the seal too far in which results in the seal leaking.
When I was trying to put the new axle I noticed the little spring wire coming out ( I assume it's a little stretchy ring tucked inside the seal to keep oil in).... so now I'm going to replace the seal just to make sure I don't end up with a leak.
