Drive axle seal
#2
check the Haynes manual, supposedly has a good write up on it.
Also, did you check your axle for movement? It can move in and out (pulling and pushing), but if it moves up/down left/right then you most likely have bearing damage, and simply replacing the seal will not fix your problem. It will help for a short time (1 month or so), and then it will be leaking again. Only true fix is proper rebuild of the tranny with properly shimmed bearings.
Granted, if you have an automatic, this problem doesn't apply to you.
Also, when you put the new seal in, don't push it in to far, as there is nothing there to prevent it from going in too far.

in that case, I don't know. I have my manual at home, not here though.
You might check the FSM: http://phatg20.net/media/FSM/Nissan/...995_Maxima.rar If you go to their site, you can find others, but it is mildy hard to navigate.
