    Big Thanks to @05Taco4x4 !!! I've got new hubs on the way!

    I've put together a few supplies I need for the job. But as usual I need an idiot check. Thanks!

    Toyota Dealership wasn't sure which cotter pins.....so as they're a buck and a quarter a piece I ordered both.

    95381-04045 and 95381-04050 being the bigger one.

    Does anyone up here know which is technically the correct one?

    I also ordered the seals - 90316-A0001 and 90304-A0001 just to be safe. I'd rather have them and not need them than need them to not have them.

    I watched this great video where they applied some Super Lube Silicon Grease to both where both seals meet. I've got some Super Lube NLGI Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease, is this what he used in this video? Also the seals are pretty greasy looking as is from the factory. If I end up replacing them do I even need to apply grease?

    I always apply a little silicone based grease to rubber seals. You’re good if the product says the grease is compatible with rubber, EPDM, and/or nitrile. On cotter pins, I select from an assortment set I got on Amazon. Get zinc plated which are stronger than stainless.
