Okay I finally got the Side Gear Shaft out and yanked out the old seal. I compared my old and new seal and they looked somewhat similar except the new toyota one has some hard metal ring around it while the other one didn't. I wonder if it corroded away or something (but then again how would it as its incased in oil)?
The inner diameter of the seal is right, but the outer diameter of the seal seems way too big for the hole on the diff. I can't even twist or bend the seal to make it slip in the hole. Is there some trick to get it in or do I simply have the wrong seal on hand?
The part # for the seal I have is: 90311-43009
Thanks.
