My favorite Mitsubishi parts vendor tells me axle seals for the differential are no longer available. Anybody have suggestions on a supplier?

Topic Information Provided by: JohnnyWadd Here is a easy way to pull the stock tbi throttle shaft seals. I did this with the throttle body and mixer off the manifiold. With a dremel or 90 degree drill you could use this method on car. The old ones i encountered where crusty and had leaks and would not pull out with a bent pick so here is the trick to help. Drill 1/16 holes like this (dont drill past the seal or youll really have a throttle body boost least) http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/2011-09-08123358.jpg Now use two really small screws and thread them in the holes. Use small enought screws that they dont scuff the throttle shaft. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/2011-09-08124523.jpg Next turn the screws in on either side and the seal will push out. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/2011-09-08124529.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/2011-09-08124337.jpg A deep 9/16 socket makes a perfect seal driver for the new seal. Lube first with automotive grease just a thin film. Sil-Glyde worked great for me. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/8a05e0de-8599-4c46-b506-a144fef9f1df.jpg If you are afraid to go after it with a tiny drill bit... http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/starionkiller/how%20to%20pull%20the%20throttle%20shaft%20seals/20150415_195904.jpg At less than a 1/4 inch, a step bit will aid in depth control.

put new injector seals on about a year ago when i swapped from ridiculous trilogy injectors back to stock (as rest of car is stock) started leaking like crazy a few weeks ago, turning the key to try and start and the throttle body under the injectors is wet and whole engine bay smells of fuel. still starts and runs but i prefer my car to not be like my mixtape. any ideas? waiting on another set of seals thanks
