We’ve had a number of inquiries for these recently so I thought I’d start a thread.
As most of you know, the most common transfer case leak on any FJ 40, 45 or 55 is typically the rear extension housing and E break area.
Quite a number of years ago somebody came up with the idea to put two seals in the extension housing instead of one. This requires machining the rear seal bore to create room for a second seal.
We offer these housings ready for install; in kit form. The kit includes a machined housing that has gone they the wash, been bead blasted and painted with 2 seals already installed. We also include a set of 4 Allen bolts to attach the e-brake backing plates; the factory hex bolts are a royal PITA and prone to rounding off. We also include a new speedo o-ring, extension housing gasket and stake but as well as 2 drain plug crush washers. That way every part needed for the job is included.
The kit costs $129 plus $12 shipping CONUS. There’s a $75 core charge that will be refunded if a serviceable used extension housing is returned to us.
Install is pretty straight forward. Happy to elaborate.
Some pics below.
We can also supply new ebrake shoes as shown below.
Let me know if you have any questions, we’re happy to help.
