*IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ THIS AND ALSO THE COMMENT WE PINNED*
In this video, we show you how to replace the seals, bearings and retainers on a 3rd Gen 4runner with a ABS rearend. This repair would also relate to other Toyota vehicles like the older pickups, 1st Gen Tacomas and 1st Gen Tundras.

** One thing I forgot to mention in the video is a clogged breather could be the cause of a leaking axle seal. The excessive pressure finds the path of least resistance and that's the oil seals at the ends of the axle housing.

*PARTS*
*2001 and 2002 3rd Gen 4runners use a different bearing than the 1996-2000.*
