88-2000 D series trannys, you can remove the starter and fill thru shift cross shaft access plug hole.
19mm 6 point socket needed

Took the bolt off and pulled, and it came out with less force than I expected. Filled it up and popped the new axle in, but don't think I got the axle in all the way.. It's leaking oil a drop a second. Going back out for round 2.
Well, on further inspection, I did get it all the way in. Did I nick the oil seal surface or something on the transmission? Any way to fix this?
I guess now I'm replacing the oil seal around the axle.

yeah replace the seal around the axle. i was going to tell you to weld an old wrench to it then after its loose use a cutting wheel to cut the wrench at the base of the head. looks like you already got it.

Did the same. Frustrating. Autozone stocks the seal and it was around $5.
Mista Bone, can I just pull the old seal and reinstall it then? Or did knocking the spring loose permanently destroy its sealing capability?
