Side shaft Oil Leak on 4X4 Figo

Post by janerasmus »

Good Day all,
On my Hilux 2,5D4D 4X4 I had an oil leak on the right hand side of the side shaft on the diff side.
Is there an oil seal in there?
And can one replace it from outside if you take the side shaft out?
Is there any problems to bear in mind when I do the job?
Thanks for any response.

HI Jan,

The drive shaft oil seal possibly gave up the ghost. To replace it you will have to remove the shaft first. Do yourself a favour and get the oil seal from the Agents. They are really not expensive and if you are going to do all that work, best is to ensure it will not leak again there.

Het onlangs myne ook gedoen en na ons uitstappie basslake toe, het Lionel sin ook begin lek.

Die agente is net so oor die R200 gewees vir die seel.

Sterkte....

Hi all. Similar problem on my kz-te bakkie.
Sideshaft is leaking badly right front.
There is also a LOT of play on sideshaft entering diff.?
Not just the sideshaft but the first part of diff is very loose
