LN106 Hilux Transfer case

Post by jakam04 »

I have just noticed that the front output shaft from the transfer case has a leak in that area. At the moment, I have the front shaft removed so its easy to see. The leak seems to be dribbling down from the front area near output shaft.

Is there a quick fix with gaskets/seals that may fix this problem? Im assuming that the output shaft seal has gone. If this is the case, is this a complete transfer case removal, or are the cases that are removed from that area to repair seal etc.

Im no mechanic so please excuse my lack of technical expertise or any reminense of sense in regards to my descriptions lol....

listen fella its as easy as 123 abc

seriously now, stick it in 4wd, hand brake on, in the middle of the flange on the front of the transfer. find a way to undoo that big nut, then the flange should come off, and then there is a seal in there, replace it and put back togeather. make sure everything is clean when you put the new seal and that in. repco orsimilar will get a seal for you. this instruction may not be 100 percent accurate, but i know that 90% of it is. there may be a clip or something behind the flange, i cant remember but i dont think there is

You might want to lubricate the seals sealing surface before installing the drive flange.. This will prevent dry startup of the seal and prevent damage.. You might need to drop the oil from the transfer before pulling the flange too?
