REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR SHAFT OIL SEAL (for 4GR-FSE) REPLACEMENT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.


  1. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Stop the vehicle on a level place.

    2. A01FH9NE01

      for Front Differential:


      1. Remove the engine under cover.

      2. Remove the filler plug and gasket.

      3. Remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.

      4. Install a new gasket and the drain plug.

      *1 Rear Differential Side Gear Shaft Oil Seal
      *a -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0197 in.)

      Using SST and a hammer, install a new rear differential side gear shaft oil seal.

      SST
      09554-22010
      Oil seal depth
      -0.5 to 0.5 mm (-0.0197 to 0.0197 in.)

      Note


      • To ensure a proper seal, evenly tap in the rear differential side gear shaft oil seal.

      • When installing the oil seal, tap it in until its surface is flush with the rear differential carrier.

      *a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

      Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) of the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

      Note


      • Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.

      • After changing the oil, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
