It's hard to tell from the pic but it looks like you're missing the big nut that holds it all on. The little slots are there to pound the edge of the nut into to prevent loosening. The official name eludes me.

It's called "staking the nut" The part driven into the grooves is the "stake" or "stakes"

I just finished mine as well. didn't realize the bottom spring had to go in the back makes sense now I see it may restrict the cam. anyone use the dust cover in the back from sor? is an OEM one available from Toyota? View attachment 1240449 View attachment 1240450

decades of dirt. Yea, it's a good part to replace.

Yes, simply drain transfer gear lube, you will have stinkin' gear lube all over the floor if you don't
