Topic: Rear axle seal removal and installation

[hilux-1983]

Anyone got pics, manual exploded view etc.... and step by step instructions on how to remove and install rear axle seals on my 1st gen?

What I usually do is use a seal puller or a screw driver to remove the seals being careful not to damage or gouge the races the seals go in........then get some gear oil and coat the seals real nice then install them using a block of wood and a dead blow mallet, put the seal where it goes then put a block of wood against the seal then hit the block with your hammer until the seals work themselves in......very easy!

Take grease and coat the spring on the inside of the lip of the seal,or you might pop the spring off when you install them

There is an inner and outer seal. How do you replace the outer seal, have to use a press or something right?

Only one seal.
