Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

In this video, we show you how to replace the front differential axle oil seals on a 3rd Gen 4runner. We don't show the removal and reinstallation of the CV axles because we show that in our CV Axle Reboot and Replacement video:
   • CV Axle Reboot & Replacement With CV ...  list=PLPMpPriBUyJBswzxy00gJpFg55Zk2fZmq

If you are replacing or rebooting your CV axles, this is the opportune time to replace the oil seals if you know or suspect they are leaking.

*Wits End Toyota 4WD IFS Output Shaft Extended Seal Driver Handle https://absolute-wits-end.com/extende...
(This is an awesome addition to the seal driver when you want to install seals with the differential inside the vehicle. This allows you to comfortably strike with your hammer outside the lower control arm to drive the seal in. This handle also works great in conjunction with a seal driving puck for driving in ECGS bushings on the driver side of the front differential. The ability to give firm hammer strikes outside the control arm makes driving in the bushings much easier.)
