    From what I've find its a seal, right where the cv goes into the diff.

    Anyone know the part number? process to remove the seal easy? I can change a CV in about a half hour so i know that much.

    Alrighty thanks. I have a spare diff at my parents, I'll check it out. Toyota will probably have to order it though huh?

    Also, I'm going to attemp to record a video tutorial for the entire thing
