Doesn't having Toyota discounts rock? :p

 

heck yea it does. even with a discount its still more than aftermarket but i would never run any aftermarket seals unless its marlins double seals. whenever i need part i just tell my parts guy to order it. my next order will be the t case mount, one of the rubber piece is not even attached anymore lol

 

I hate you two and your parts discounts lol

 

sorry dude! :p

I agree... the only thing i did aftermarket was a window regulator... and it squeaks like hell.. and uh...you should get that checked out :p

 

DANG YOU GUYS! Now I'm REALLY going to have to just make time to get on all this stuff I gotta do! lol... And yes, while I only get 25% from my buddy at the Dealer... it's a MUCH better choice, IMHO, than most any aftermarket parts. I have everything to reseal my T-case(the rest of it... Already did the leaking front and rear seals).... But alas, my W56 STILL SUX! lol. I tell ya... I would give my left....arm to find a R150 around here! lol. Just nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find!

Best wishes on the repairs, Blake!

 

OEM FTW. anyways. 1st thing monday i will be order that mount. they arnt cheap but it needs to be done

 

how much did that end up costing you?

 

Hey I must have missed it but did you put any new suspension on? Body Lift? BJ spacers? your ifs just looks really good not flattened out at all...

 

It came with bj spacers, Downey soft ride leafs, and some weird discovery shocks.

 

98 with tax
should be here tomorrow.

 

Thanks by the way!!

 

well my seal came in for the front output shaft. Hopefully it's self explanatory, all I've got going into this is "It's easy" lol

wooo!!!

 

Hey bud, .....

it's DEFINITELY a good idea to print out 4crawlers(roger's) "T-Case Seal Repair"(or something like that... Should be in his 'cheap tricks' stuff, IIRC) I printed out that and his 'Removing a Diff' section and they had a lil tricks to them ..... again, IIRC, lol. Pics, too.

The front was not as easy as the rear, IMHO..... but it's easily doable in a short time.

Hey Blake, .... who put on your sliders? (no insult intended.... Just curious if you got help.... and if not, you wanna put mine on with me when I get em? lol).

 

Previous owner! This truck was such a solid starting point dude.
And I figured out the seal by myself. Took some Time.. but it was Low stress... Until I realizied I had to separate a part of the transfer case that I hadn't anticipated. Ran over to Toyota... Of course they don't stock the paper gasket. (I have a pic ill upload after work to help describe what im talking about.) Having a lift and a transmission jack.. and compressed Soo made the job a mater of just figuri

 

Figuring stuff out**

To summarize it..

I supported the transmission with a block of wood on top of the jack, removed the cross member, unbolted the transfer case side of the front drive shaft ( mark which holes line up to avoid vibration) took an impact gun to the 30mm nut hidden by the drive shaft, pulled off the piece under that.. splined cover that bolts to the drive shaft. Then un bolt the last 4 bolts ( where the paper gasket is) and pull that cover off.. in there is a felt - like seal thing, and a hard plastic seal pop replace those two and reverse it. Wish I had those instructions to start with though :p

 

Sorry about the spelling and incorrect words.. ill fix em when I'm off my phone.

 

nice. didnt know the front one was so involved

 

yea neither did I! :p I ended up staying late breaking loose the diff drain plug, and trans drain plug. I'm lucky the previous owner didn't strip em out they were so tight.



so there is one piece that is not in the picture. It slides over the splines of the transfer case, and bolts to the drive shaft. once you slide that off, then you can access the 4 bolts seen on the transfer case. in that cover is the gasket and carpet like o-ring thing. That is also the separation that I didn't realize I would need to take a part, so I didn't have a gasket for it. The metal around the splines is NOT removable. haha I tried trust me. It's a retainer and the seals go in from the inside. Hopefully someone who was as lost as I was comes across my jumped assortment of tips. Oh, and its been almost 24 hours and no leaks!

 

and now I have technical terms!
here's where I was working.

 

the seals are hidden just inside the bearing retainer. So everything from that to the nut with 1250 (90, 123) underneath need to come out.
