No idea mate, but its axle not axcle.

Best bet it to buy a Gregorys manual for your car from Repco or similar and have a read, it will explain what seals to use.

Yeah as Tonka said, or just go down to Repco and tell them ur car and wat u need and they will grab it for ya.
Axle seals are easy.
-Take wheel off
- take brake compnents off
- slide axle out
- replace seal and put everything back in

will take ya a coupla hours!!

I think the seals are only worth somewhere between 10 and 20 bucks each.

If its the outer seal then new bearings are required.
You need a 20tonne press plus plates and may also need an oxy to expand race.

Try escape off road in Blackburn , Mary st. 9877 0277
Tell Greg Bazzle sent you

Get someone to go through it with you while you do it youself.. that way you should be set to do it next time..
