Cat litter works great for soaking up oil spills and it's cheap, comes in 50lbs bags, and can be bought just about at any grocery store if there's no pet store around. Brake cleaner will work wonders at getting the remnants out of the concrete. Had a similar but unrelated oil spill kinda like...

I'm at work but here's a suggestion: Email wholesale automatics in Australia and they may be able to send you the information you're looking for. They specialize with land cruiser transmissions. Wholesale Automatics Good Luck

Need early model fender flare. Mounting points must be intact, don't need the hardware like clips and such. Part number is molded into the flare and should read: 53088-60901 Thanks Gord

Gonna chime in on my experience doing this. I had a hell of time getting the tension spring back hooked back on the post. I struggled for about a good 30-45mins trying to do the screwdriver method with no luck and gashing my hand pretty good. I gave up and wandered my garage thinking of a way...
