A lot of the work right now is cleaning parts; either nuts & bolts for reassembly time, or parts that are having paint/rust removed and repainted.

Getting the front seal out was quite a chore, but once started, it had to be done. The repair manual actually says to cut the rubber of the seal from around the shaft, then pry the rest out.

Everything was still available from Toyota, including o-rings, gaskets, etc. just not in kit form anymore. Of course, the bushing inside the housing has never been available separately, and mine shows some wear (too hard to photograph), but I will just have to run with it.
