    Hey Tacoma Brothers,

    My buddy Sean and I made another video that maybe you guys can benefit from as well. When you're doing a CV axle replacement or reboot, it's the opportune time to replace the oil seals at the ends of the differential axle housing whether you know they are leaking or you just want to do it for preventative maintenance.

    Here's the vide and Enjoy the Show!

    Another great video... keep them coming!

    As you implored ,one of most important things to remember on these is not to install them too deep. A lot of people drive them in too deep and they leak as that outer rubber seal has to seal against the cv axle flange and they have to do it again....ask me how I know .lol

    Did it twice on my old 4runner ,years ago,as I thought I was cutting the seal , crooked or something before I figured it out. At least I got plenty of practice pulling CV's and can change one now in 30 minutes or less.
