Toyota 90311-50045 Seal, Type T Oil

Leaks may happen because of wear of the wheel seals; replacing the seals is rather simple and does not require transaxle removal from a vehicle. These seals are mounted on the sides of the transaxle that is on the driveaxle shaft end connected to the differential. If the seal is leaking, fluid will be on the side of the transaxle for checking leakage, raise the vehicle and support it on jack stands securely. Starting with, strip the driveaxle, and if mending the right side driveaxle seal, then you need to also release the intermediate and the driveaxle assembly. Delicately remove the wheel seal off the transaxle bore using a screwdriver or prybar so you do not harm the surface of the seal bore. If it is challenging to get rid of the seal, then it is recommended that an oil seal removal tool is useful. When placing a new wheel seal, it can be punched into place with a seal driver or a large deep socket as a drift making sure that it is square and sets fully into the bore, while the lip of the new seal can be lubed with multi-purpose grease. Last not least, reinstall the driveaxle assembly but being very careful not to cause damage to the lip of the new seal you just installed.

Greasiness is very common particularly because of the deteriorating of the wheel seals, replacing the seals is fairly easy since most of the repairs can be made without the removal of the transaxle from the vehicle. The wheel seals are on each side of the transaxle at which the drive axle inner CV joint is jiggle into the differential. If one has a feeling that leakage is at the seal part of the car, lift the car and place it on the jackstands; if the seal is leaking, fluid will be seen dripping at the side of the transaxle. Take out the driveaxle, subsequently, utilising a screwdriver or prybar free the wheel seal from the transaxle bore damaging the seal bore surface. If the wheel seal can still not be expelled using these tools, a particular wheel seal expulsion tool which can be gotten from auto tool shops will be needed. In removing the new wheel seal, use the corresponding remover or you can use vise grip or big deep socket as drift seeing to it that the seal is installed squarely and firmly into the bore, and before tightening apply multi-purpose grease on the lip of the new seal. Last of all, fit the drive axle as demonstrated in the figure above but ensure that the lip of the new seal is not infringed.

Yes, the replacement of these seals is relatively easy and can usually be performed without removing the transaxle from the vehicle.

Start by unstaking the pinion flange nut using a hammer and punch.

Oil leaks in a vehicle can often be attributed to wear and tear on the driveaxle oil seals, speedometer drive gear oil seal, and O-rings.

Mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the pinion flange or coupling, then unbolt the driveshaft from the flange. Suspend the driveshaft with a piece of wire, ensuring it doesn't hang by the center support bearing.
