Changing pumpkin seal. How Hard?
I finally got the rear end I wanted for my 4runner. It's off a auto 89 V6. How much of a hassle is it to change out that pumpkin seal? Is it a quick, simple process or do I need to pull it all apart?

Depends on what you are talking about.

Do you mean the diff gasket? pinion seal?

It's the middle seal where the housing and differential pumpkin(i think it's called) is leaking. It has no oil.

Would anyone know where I can find front 4.88 gears? I can find the rear but not the front. Since I'm probably going to have to change the gears because there's no oil.

Randys Ring and Pinion or any other gear vendor should have the gears you need.

And you'll have to disconnect brake lines and pull axle shafts in order to remove the diff to install a new gasket.

Ok cool, thank you. And the 4.88 gears should pop right in? I won't have to make any modifications?

They will bolt in, but you want to make sure you get the back lash right and the front gear's match the rear.
