Front axle seal

Alright so I replaced both cv axles and the driver side went smooth the passenger side started leaking so replaced the upper seal that goes into the differential and it is still leaking so I am thinking I messed it up some how do I am going to get a brand new one and try it again does anyone have any other ideas of what else it could be

Well I've got no experience with that one. Been waiting on someone to help you out but didn't want you to think I'd forgotten you.

Here's a bump, then, and a good luck.

Sweet! On the 3rd gen 4Runners you have to be careful not to knock into the seal when you put the cv shaft in. There's no lip for the seal to rest against, it's just a certain amount of millimeters in the housing. Is the 05 Taco similar?
Glad to hear you got it sorted.

Well that's annoying. Hope for a good (and cheap) outcome!
