Unfortunately, yes.

Do the axles have to come out? I was under the assumption you can do it without removing them based on FL5 videos. It actually looked rather simple. Is this an incorrect assumption?

I was under the car for a good amount of time I don’t think where is anyway to remove replace the seal with out removing the axel and well everything else to be able to remove it. Shit sounds like I also need fluid.. Everybody running the stock fluid or is there something better recommended?

For a spring install axles do not need to be removed.

I've heard there is an o-ring in the tranny to seal the axle. Might not be the case on the ITS. But be careful not to tear that o-ring if it is present as fluid will leak.

Make sure you check transmission fluid before driving the car at all. I learned that lesson the hard way when I had a cheap shop install some springs on a car long ago and they broke one of the seals. A week later I no longer had a 5th gear :(

Thanks, for the heads up I’ve been trying to figure out how much it’s lost. Do we have a trans dip sick ha? Hope once the seal is fixed the worries are over. I don’t want to lose any gears

No, just the fill bolt. If you only lost a little, likely fine, but even with a small leak you can burn though it faster than you think.

What happens if I over fill it? Doesn’t look like anyway to check levels on this thing

Wanted to update this thread a little bit because my springs arrived. I noticed the p/ns for the front are for the FK8 (h&r 28714-1) and the rears are for the FL5 (h&r 28714-2).

Either the FL5 kit is just an FK8 front with different specs for the rear or I got sent a mismatched kit.

I'm inclined to think it's the former but I haven't reached out to the supplier or manufacturer about it yet.
