I had to take the frunk out of my car due to a battery issue, in doing so I noticed that my seals are weeping/leaking. Not keen on paying Tesla $$$ in labor for a $20 part. I’ve done diff seals on other cars and generally it’s an easy job just take time to remove hubs/suspension to get to the axle/seal. Done a search and it seems a few have done this but no DIY, also I can’t find the seal part #.
Couple of questions:
1. Any tip/ tricks to watch out for, I read somewhere that the axle snap ring needs to be in a certain position to fit.
2. Anyone know seal part #, the Tesla online catalog I have doesn’t show it as a separate part.
3. Anyone source a replacement snap ring or just reuse it.
4. What fluid did you use, think I watched a YouTube that claimed it’s Dextron 6
cheers all
