24202835 Automatic Transmission Front Axle Shaft Seal

Fit perfectly and affordable. Fixed my ATF leak. OEM so what else can you expect?

RE: ACDelco GM Original Equipment 24202835 Automatic Transmission Front Axle Shaft Seal The vehicle fitment guide picked this oil seal for a 4T65E transmission in a 2002 Buick LeSabre final drive axle from the transmission case to the CV axle. I verified the part with GM websites and it is correct. Shipping was fast. I was not able to drive to the Auto parts store and pick up a generic seal. Prefer GM OEM parts for Grandma's Buick.

Great price fits perfectly

Good

GM makes FM sell these seals to them at cost $1.95 each. So there is a real mark up on these. I worked for Federal mogul 2 yrs. in QA, where they make these seals or ones just like them. The really good seals have an internal ring spring to hold tension on the wiping surface. Seems well made, not used yet. I can't find the part # for the left side to match this seal. I wanted to change them both at the same time.

Works as intended! Hard to remove old gasket but if you are doing a CV axle job it is recommended to swap both gaskets!

Fit perfectly, easy to install and no leaks. I choose ACDelco whenever possible for my 2003 Pontiac Montana

The axle seals wear over time, and so if you're replacing the CV axle you need to replace the axle seal. Note that the GM 4T65E transmission has two different size axle seals for the left (ACDelco 24243353) and right (ACDelco 24202835) axles. So make sure you pick up both ... Amazon usually recommends the other one in the "buy these together" field. In order to remove the seal, I recommend using a seal puller. They are very inexpensive, and unlike screwdrivers and picks they don't run the risk of damaging the housing the seal sits in. In order to seat the seal properly, you will need to use one of the following (a) a really big socket (35+ mm) (b) a similar big diameter pipe (c) a race and seal bearing kit I recommend (c) simply because there are plenty of other oddly sized seals in GM vehicles that a set like that will go very far. I am very certain that the people complaining of leaks didn't seat the seal properly, or worse they mangled the aluminum housing!

Needed a chisel to indent the metal ring on the old one. Also used a seal puller, but honestly, a chisel and a screwdriver (dull) are all you need. Cannot just pull it out with a seal puller, you have to crush a side with a chisel. I used a small 4 inch long chisel - worked like a charm and easy to do. To put the new one in I tried using the wheel bearing socket which is 35mm and fits the thick metal back of the seal very well. I could not seat it well however, one side was always in and the other out. I ended up tapping the new bearing using the 35mm socket very lightly, just to get it started, then I used the flat end of a 1/2" extension rod and tapped it in gently going around the edge in a circle. Saw this method in a youtube video from Asia. Low tech worked really well! Took a bit of time but seal is perfect.

Fit exactly how it should.
