Replacing Front Pinion Seal
How big of a PITA is it on a 91? I picked this one up a few months ago for my kids and it's been one thing after another.
I just now figured out why the front diff was empty. I filled it up and the gear oil is literally running out of the pinion seal.So it looks like I'll be replacing it in the snow tomorrow...just wondering how long it'll take...special tools, etc. Thanks. |

On my Jeep board, among others, there would have been tons of replies, some with help, some with condolances. Just getting frustrating with a broke truck in the street, you know? Kind of a moot point now. I undertook it Sunday and found the diff empty and the bearings trashed. I pulled one from a 95 in the local junkyard today and will be swapping this weekend. I don't know who posted the site with the gearing code translator but it was a Godsend. |

There are not that many tech people on the first/secnd gen forum. The ones that do pop in from time to time are very good and helpful.
I do not go to any other Toyota forums, just this one, I already spend to much time on this box as it is, that is what my wife says ![]() I build diffs to an art and am at the top of my game. If you need any other questions answerd you can post or PM, Email. I am also available by phone. Googl PuddyMod to see my work

Thanks man, you rock. I will contact you if I need any other diff questions answered. I found out yesterday that you can in fact R/R the front diff on a 91 T4R in the driveway, on a nose-up angle, without pulling the CV shafts completely out, with a motorcycle jack. And it really is only 3 bolts holding it in!
Pinion bearing problem solved. Again, thanks. |
