Re: toyota axle help
The only special tools needed are the 54mm socket and a pair of snap ring pliers. You can seat the seals with a socket if needed.

Re: toyota axle help
not at all. i have wheel bearing sockets in my toolbox up to 5.5", and have some spline drive sockets up to 6". add in some wrenches for repacking lift cylinders and actuators on heavy equipment, and i can show you a 14" wrench. you pull on it with a backhoe.....
you talking the inner axle seal thats in the housing, or the wheel seals for the wheel bearings?
if its the inner one, make sure you regrease the joint on the axle to make it purty, along with replace the felts. almost every one of them we get in is in dire need of all four knuckle bearings also, since most people dont repack them. there are several places that sell a kit with all four knuckle bearings, shims, felts, axle seals, wheel seals, all four wheel bearings and races for a decent price.
look closely at the wheel bearings, but likely you will need to replace all four and races also.
