Front hub seals/gaskets?
Ok the deal is, i need to repack the wheel bearings, because during this rainy season i happened to think it was fun to venture into the mud, with bald tires... Long story short, got stuck and the truck sat in frame deep mud for about 5 hours before i was able to get it pulled out (i didnt go alone, but my buddy wasnt able to get me out). Anyways, im going to be repacking the wheel bearings, and i looked into what gaskets and oil seals i need, and vatozone only lists an inner bearing seal, but in the toyota shop manual i have it appears theres a gasket and an oil seal. What exactly do i need to replace (in other words, whats my shopping list)? And do i need any special tools, to take the nuts off or anything?

no i think when i did mine there just a bearing and the race and you'll need i think a 1 1/8 to get the nut off or you can use a screwdriver and a hammer

there should be a gasket between the hub body and the dial, and between the hub body and hub, there is a grease seal right behind the inner wheel bearing, and there should be a seal that the CV joint slides into to keep crap out of the wheel bearings, and one more which you will see when you pull the rotor off, its held on by the spindle bolts
