[Steeve Rioux]

Hi everybody!
i have a question about the axle seal on the driver side on a corolla 05 manual transmission 5 speed
do the seal have to be flush with the transmission housing or to the bottom?? because i put a brand new one and still leaking as hell!
also im looking for a pdf manual like haynes manual for the same car if someone have detailed info

thanks in advance!!

Yeah in all cars they have to. You should find a round punch and carefully smack it in. They have a service tool they use at the Corolla plant. Here's the one I did in my 01 Maxima.

You should get the factory workshop manual from eBay too
