Hey all,
Trying to replace the front output seal on my 67 FJ40 and cannot seem to get this output shaft castle nut to budge. I built a steel jig to hold the flange from moving and then tried using a long breaker bar on the nut to break it loose (counter-clockwise/lefty-loosey). It had a cotter pin through it (removed) and it doesn't look like it is staked or has any of those metal tabs, but it doesn't seem to want to move at all.
I'm going to soak it in penetrating oil overnight, but I'm doubtful any oxidation is the issue.
Any other things I should be thinking of?
Thanks!
