Re: FWD gearbox oil seals?

Go to Toyota and order left and right driveshaft seals.
They are different sizes.
Like already said, take the old ones out and take them with you to compare when you pick up the new ones.
To put them in just make sure they're lined up with the hole properlyand evenly against the gearbox housing then use a block of wood to cover them as you tap them in with a hammer. The wood spreads the force of the hammer.
You could wipe some oil on the housing before you put the seals in and wipe some oil around the seal lips before you fit the driveshafts.
From experience, don't get too keen and put the oil in before you put the shafts in.
