There also looks like there was either silcone or a seal aroung where the diff bolts on
Anyone know
If so i will need to get these before the weekend
Anything else i need to know

No i would'nt replace o-ring.
Clean off crap from around diff housing using a solvent cleaner, use blue gasket glue when you put the diff centre back in, thats all i use now.

1. If it has any sign of damage, splits, flat sections etc, but these rarely ever break.
2. Use the correct gasket and some RTV sealant for this flange, not silicone.
3. You will need the later model drums, you cant use your old narrow-track ones.

Toyota reccomend just a liquid gasket seal for the front diff.
Just ask for it at Rip Every Poor C--t Off or Bursons.
cheers.

"Ultra blue" is what you want.
Brand name sold by Loctite is "Blue Max silicone" but everyone should know what your on about if you ask for ultra blue.
Works great for almost any gasket.
cheers

It makes the front diff the same width as the IFS rear housing.
3 inches wider overall than a standard SA lux.
