Gotta love rear axles... :) At least you caught it and didn't have your wheel passing you going down deerfoot or something...

Trade ya - spent last night dealing with a blown oil cooler line! :) They just can't make those reasonable to get at can they?

we're lucky with these toyota's that the axle can't fall out of the tube like the jeep rear axles.

haha, 3 more axle seals..
like they say, 3rd ones a charm right?


honestly, drivers side wouldnt go in nicely.

i used my seal pressing kit type thing..
ended up using one that i ruined the lip on while getting pressed in the housing.. got my duckbill plyers and worked it back again and used to fipg and called it a day.
oh and broke the rear brakeline to.. yaya for spare parts.
