front differential seal???

So I am fixing the leak on my 2001 taco on the front passenger side. The leak is where the axle goes into the front differential... I know there is a seal there but I have read in several forums that the seal has a metal ring along with the rubber. And I also know its only a dealer item... So I went to my local dealer on Saturday to pick one up and they handed me a rubber seal that does not seem to be the right one?!?!? Can anyone help me out as to what the seal looks like, perhaps a photo or a part number? Thank you....

 

did drivers side on my 01.part #9031147012 spent $13.its just a rubber seal with a metal ring and a spring inside.sometimes they pull apart when its pulled out of the axle. hope that helped.

 

I did mine when I replaced my half shafts. I took a small prybar to pop the old one out. Did this from under the truck, removed skid plate. I seated the new seal by hand and then very carefully and slowly used 3-3/4 inch extension and a hammer to pound the new seal in. I did this very softly and went around the seal. Think about the pattern to tighten lug nuts. No leaks after I was done. You will have to remove half shafts. There is a good article for this on TTORA. Good luck do it yourself If I was there I coould have it done in 1 hour no bullshit.

 

Ok so I put the new one on but i still have a leak. There is a copper ring outside of the seal that is not sitting right. Does anyone know what I'm doin wrong or why it could still be leaking any word is helpful

 

Ok so I'm goin to try and put the new seal in tomorrow any info is helpful.

 

Called 6 different dealerships around the area today and not a single one has the seal in stock!!

Dealerships around here are absolutely useless for parts, they never have anything, down to a simple dash bulb.
