It’s just a spring that keeps the inner lip of the seal tight to the inboard CV axle shaft. Throw it in the trash - your new seal will already have one.
if you're not replacing the seal, don't throw it away. you might be able to put it back in place as it doesn't look too deformed.This might help
Thread Size for UBJ and LBJ Castle Nut
Hi all, I'm having some popping my LBJ and UBJ with a hammer for the steering knucle needle bearing repack and CV replacement. Trying a ball joint separator tool next. Looking to thread on a nut to protect the ball joint thread. What's the castle nut thread size for both UBJ and LBJ?forum.ih8mud.com
It seals the front diff by holding the inboard shaft that keeps the sealed front diff system from leaking gear oil.
That's part of the old oil seal and it can be disposed.
You broke nothing
agreed... better to replace the whole seal....I would get a new seal, they're not expensive and way better insurance than trying to reuse the old one and then having to tear the axle apart again later because it's leaking.
Another question. Toyota would not take the old cv axels. I know some places give you money back if you take them in. Is there anything I can do with the old cv axels?
Did you buy new CV axles from that Toyota dealer?Another question. Toyota would not take the old cv axels. I know some places give you money back if you take them in. Is there anything I can do with the old cv axels?
Yes they are the original ones.If they're Toyota CVs, toss them up on the Classifieds. They can be rebuilt with new outers, or used as trail spares, etc.
