Front Pinion seal???

[MacFamily]

Gday Guys

Iam in the process or was off replacing the front pinion seal and flange, I bought the diff flange kit 4 bolt STC4858 but when I pulled mine apart the flange supplied is longer and also the seals are different.

The seal I pulled out has BAFVI1UD3 SLSF DRWX67 stamped on it and after a google search could not find much info.

Ive emailed the supplier as its saturday plus there in Sydney :( so wont find out anything from them till monday but theres plenty of other things to do on the old girl.

Ive added a few pics to see if anybody can help me Identify the seal and also do I have the wrong parts or perhaps a different diff.

The "new" part looks like the end on the Transfer Case.

I'd say you got the output flange, not the diff flange.

With a little more research have found this seal which I think is it.

I was just looking at that part number, when I requested the kit I was unsure which one as I have the parts/price book but that was the kit the supplier recommended I even included my vin number in the email.

Or well these things happen but the postive thing is ive learnt something today thanks for your help.

Well dont I feel like a idot there's a spacer in the diff that needs to be removed :wallbash:

So does the new drive flange fit now ?
In a toyota the spacer is a crushable so as to get the right preload, Its been a while but dont you have to use shims to preload the pinion bearings ?

[MacFamily]

Yes it fits and went for a 30k drive and no leak so far.

Shims are used to set the preload but I figured if I tighten to 130Nm it should be Ok.

There is a little play when you turn the flange by hand but for a fender with nearly 400k on the clock you would have to expect that.

I figure these days if you dont have a go you will never no and the more mistakes I make the more I learn.

I recently rebuilt the brake master cylinder I was a little hesitant as it is your brakes and also its the family car which the wife drives everyday but 2 months later and almost 5k it brakes better then it ever did (touch wood).
