Fix oil leaks on swivel hubs SFA front axle

Post by The Legend »

Fix oil leaks on swivel hubs on sfa front axle once and forever doing it the correct way
1) Get the dubbel lip oil seal of TG TRAIL -gear (imported from U.S.A)
2) If there is any signs of wear (doesn't matter how small) on the spindle bushes replace it with the original Toyota one (Not the short pirate one).
3) Replace all the gaskets and vilt seals with new ones
4)Most important of all use the "tool" to make sure that shims on the swivel hubs is fitted correctly
