Hi all,
Thanks for your contribution to this forum. I have a 2004 LX470 that I'm baselining (long story on my prior post). There is a leak coming from the PS front diff where the inner CV axle meets. DS and propeller shaft sides look clean. Diff fluid was changed at 125k which was 25k ago -- according to the service history -- is full and looks clean. I'm going to try to clean the diff breather but wanted to know if there is only an outer diff oil seal or is there also an inner oil seal? I assume it's only the outer seals for the DS/PS CV's and an inner seal for the propeller shaft. I'm hoping I can do this just from outside the diff on the CV side and don't need to drop 3rd crossmember and disassemble the front diff
Thanks for any input!
