I had the same problem where I couldnt find a detailed video of how to do this exact job, but on my v8 4runner. I guess that if it went well for you on your Gx, it should be good on my truck too, since the both share a lot of parts! Thanks
Hi, I have a Toyota Hilux Ln166 2001 I’m having trouble finding the original seal. Can you please help me with the part number. I changed it and there is still a leak.
I don't know as we didnt get the Hilux in the US after 1995. Did the dealership confirm you had the right part? Other causes could be damage during install, or wear on the shaft itself.
If the nut is stripped, you'll only need to replace it. If the threads on the shaft stripped then you'll need to remove and tear down the transfer to rebuild it.
@@edwincamiling2644 You'd have to remove it from the truck and take it all apart to replace that shaft, if it's even available anywhere new. Might be easier just to buy another used transfer.
6th Gear Garage Is that oil seal the same on a 2 door model it's a 88 2door 22re I recently had the same problem it's only been a pain in the but finding the part number
I think it depends mostly on which transfer case your truck has. Mine has the forward shift design, 21 spline. All have 21 spline except the turbo models. Most 22R 2nd gen 4x4 had the fwd shift, while most 22RE 2nd gen 4x4 had the top shift design. Still not sure if they use the same seal. I checked my repair manual and it didn't say.
I get that the drive shaft sections need to be aligned, but does it matter if the flanges at the ends of the shaft are aligned with transfer case flange and the differential housing flange? I ask because I'm installing a whole new shaft.
Was the oil seal failed because the staked nut was coming loose, causing play in the transfer case output shaft? On the YotaTech forums, this is reported to be the cause of a lot of the seal failures; in most cases it seems that tightening up the stake nut and re-staking it after replacing the seal fixes the problem; however in some cases it seems the output shaft bearing behind the seal ends up going bad and also needs replacing....
@@6thGearGarage can I use an RTV? I doused the engine and transmission seam with pb blaster and the protruding gasket material just disintegrated (it came of when I touched it) so I think I should take the t case off and redo those seals. As well as both output or the input and output shaft
Hey man great video, I have an 87 4runner and I think mine is leaking but in the front where the front driveshaft connects. Is the procedure pretty much the same? Looks like it might be a little more involved but if it's pretty much the same I can probably knock this out next weekend.
@@6thGearGarage alright cool, I guess I tackle this next weekend. Any chance you have the part number for the seal and the nut? I would think they're the same, no?
@@fujimori17 Fuji Mori I just checked the FSM and after the staked nut & washer, things are different. The front and rear oil seals are the same size but FSM says they are specific to front and rear because they're designed for the shaft to rotate one way in them. The front one has the word FRONT stamped on the outside. They don't say any part #'s.
It's a twin stick setup. It gives you separate controls for 2wd/4wd and hi/low. Nice when in a tight area with front locker because you can go into 2wd low and have a better turning radius instead of fighting the front diff when steering all the way right or left.
Ok kind of a fork in the road it hasn’t gone out yet but I also heard that it once they go motor is blown up is that true just trying to keep the ole girl running my daily driver lol thanks
Nah, they're wear items meant to be replaced. The only way damage can occur is if you keep driving after its time to change them, along with the tensioner. Slapping chain sound means it's time.
Also I prefer plastic over metal because if you replace them on time, there's no advantage for metal. Id rather not have my chain rubbing on a metal guide.
Yeah I'm sure there's a bearing, although I've never torn into the case to see how to change it. I'd pick up a Factory Service Manual if you don't already own one. It's worth every dollar.
Hi, thanks for that video. I am having a landcruiser 1hz, 80series,4.2l diesel. 1992. My front output seal leaks a bit. I check the transmission case oil regularly but there is always enough oil in. Is the transfer case oil and transmission oil the same? Replacing the transfer case oil seal on the front output is a bit more complicated as I have to take off the whole casing in the front.
The Transmission and transfer case each use their own oil. I'm not sure on the 80 series, but on my 4x4, there is an upper and lower fill bolt on the back of the transfer case where fluid can be checked.
Alejandro Montoya the Click Click in the video was from the torque wrench. I haven't heard that kind of sound on any of my trucks while driving, but you might check for slop/play around the driveshaft/u joints if it happens when you accelerate/decelerate.
@@6thGearGarage Thanks for the advice, but apparently it was the transmission oil that was expired and with low level. After the change, it stopped ringing.
Hello i have an fzj80 1996 land cruiser which i have been suffering from bad vibration in speed around 90km to 120km i changed the drive shaft twice, but u said an important note in ur video .. that it needs to be marked “u marked it with yellow” otherwise the drive shaft will vibrate! I guess u find the solution which i was looking for for a month!! Do u know how can bring back my drive shaft to its orginial factory calibration? Thats will help me alot. Thanks waiting for ur replay
The free fix is to unbolt the driveshaft, rotate it a quarter of a turn, and re-install it. If it doesn't vibrate on a test drive, then it is installed correctly. If you tried every position and it still vibrates, then you may need to have it balanced.
6th Gear Garage great thanx for the replay .. yesterday i went to a professional mechanic in toyota trucks, he took a quick look for like 15 seconds under the car and said the transfer case is the cause if the vibration and i knew it leaked might bs bearing or flange of the drive shaft in the transfercase.. do u think the transfercase might make this vibration on high speed! Appreciated really ! Thanx 👍🏽
I haven't had the luck of experiencing a bad transfer case as of yet, so I can't speak from experience there. But generally a bad bearing in a transfer case or transmission will be more noticeable at certain/higher rpm's.
6th Gear Garage fair enough thats true cerain and higher rpms true! Thanx really wish u all the best and keep it up for ur nice channel u hv in utube my friend
