Hi All -
Slowly working through my '87 FJ60 and fixing issues. Since I bought it last year, I have had a gear oil leak at the transfer case. I replaced the front output shaft seal which helped, but still had a small leak (using synthetic gear oil which probably does not help the leaks). I also noticed that my front output shaft has a lot of free-play (i.e. Lateral movement) probably ruining the seal. I am guessing this free-play is not suppose to be present. I am also guessing I need to remove & rebuild the transfer case. Can anyone provide some guidance?
Thanks for any help,
Stoshzack
