Question -
I am having great difficulty removing the driveshaft from my Santa Fe. I've tried various tools and can't remove the bolts. I'm trying to replace the rear pinion seal that is leaking.Is there a special tool that you are aware of? I know I need a 10 millimeter allen wrench and a 21 millimeter wrench to remove the bolts but can't get a grip on them. The dealer wants $200 to change a seal that costs $12 bucks!I know I can do it myself if I had the right tool. Do I also need a special tool to remove the seal?Please get back to me as soon as possible as I have an appointment with the dealer because I became so frustrated when I couln't find a tool. If you can advise me you'll save me a lot of money. Thank you
