Outer Limits 4x4 Board

so i get home from toolangi the other day didnt go through any mud holes and started to grease the uni joints and notice that the rear diff is leaking oil around the pinion. put a new pinion seal in yesterday and it pisses oil out worse that what it was to start with. i couldnt feel any slop/movement in the pinion. what should i do? what could it be?
thanks in advance.

Could be a new defective, wrong part number, a burr on the yoke, faulty install (happens to the best of us), etc.
I would swap it out and check those things while ya' got the yoke off...

You might need to put a speedy sleeve on the pinion, the old seal would have left a groove,when you put the new seal in it is probably not quite in the same spot as the old one,there pretty easy to install...also check your diff breather is not blocked

yep no worries think ill go with the speedy sleave. thanks for your help guys, ill let ya no how it goes.

I put a speedi sleave in it and put another seal in, took it for a 10 minut drive and it had one tiny drop of oil, any ideas now? thanks for your help to.

If the seal is of the type that consists of a metal ring with a rubber ring on the inside (like timing case oil seals and axle shaft oil seals), don't forget to put stag paste or silastic (I find stag is better) on the metal part of the seal that contacts the diff housing.

Give it a couple of days, it could just be oil from putting it together..Paul

As stated... Is the breather blocked or kinked?
If Toyota original type throw the valve away and extend.

Bazzle

it already got extended diff breathers on it and no there not blocked or kinked at all

It would appear that it doesnt leak what so ever after a long drive yesterday. thanks every one
