Exclamation need responce ASAP

so im going to go change my axle seal for the third time today but i remember awhile ago hearing i should empty all the fluid in the axle and put new in when i do the seal because it can be contaminated and ruin the seal again. is this true or not?

just make sure that you clean the surface where the seal sits very well. Also i know it sounds dumb but make sure you put that seal in the right way.
