Clutch/rear main seal replament.

I have the dreaded squeak when my truck is idling in neutral. I ordered the Throw out bearing sleeve kit from URD. When I was under the truck I noticed that there was oil on the rear of the oil pan and bell housing. I have had enough experience repairing vehicles to assume it's the rear main seal until I actually pull the transmission out. This is the first time however performing this job on a Toyota. I looked up the price for a seal and noticed that it looks like the seal is in another housing that has to come off in order to remove the seal.

Anyone familiar with this? Am I correct or does the seal just come out like most other vehicles? I am of course replacing the clutch since I'm taking it all apart.

 

Yes.

It is an aluminum seal holder that bolts to the back the engine block.

Comes right off very easily after the flywheel is off.

Make sure you resurface the flywheel before you put the new clutch on.

Will do thanks.
