Be careful during the installation and removal of the axles not to damage the seal and you should be fine.

I'll be installing new axles on my 92 Accord 5spd next weekend. Should I plan on replacing the axle seals, or leave them be? I believe these are the OEM axles, so the seals are gettting on in years. OTOH, they are working fine and I'd rather not go trying to fix something that's not broken.
My Haynes (I know!) manual indicates using large a screwdriver or seal puller. I'm a bit leery of wrenching them out and don't want to fight them if there is some danger of nerfing the seal seat.
Thanks.
