I just recently bought a 94 yota pickup and it is leaking oil pretty bad from the rear pinion seal and you can also move the driveshaft bad so i am presuming it is the rear pinion bearing anybody know how hard it is to change this?

 

Might as well change gears now if you were ever gonna do it before. You'll be right there

 

Mine is leaking, and i was contemplating regearing while i do it. (i mean while a shop does it) But isn't it somewhere around $1000 bucks for gears and the installation costs?

 

You can expect to pay ~$130 for gears, $100 for install kit, and $100-150 to have the gears installed. And thats for one diff. X2 if you have 4wd, because its best to do both at the same time, so $600 on the low side, $800 on the high side.

 

if you can't find anybody to do the work i highly recommend Zuk. he is half way across the country from ya, but he does great work at a fair price. are you going to put a locker in while you have the diff out?
