Guys,
Newby here, please bear with me.

I have a slow drip coming out of the rear tranny seal, where the driveshaft goes into the tranny. It seems simple enough to replace, would like to do this myself.

Question: Any special tools needed to remove the old seal and install the new one?

Is there a how to anywhere on this forum giving the details?

Thanks for your help!
 
Where it goes into the tranny? or into the transfer case? do you just have a 2wd?
 
Assumming you have an automatic tranny (AW4)

Here is a cut and paste from my 01 FSM

ADAPTER HOUSING SEAL
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Disconnect or remove components necessary to gain access to seal (e.g. propeller shaft, crossmember, shift linkage, transfer case, exhaust components, hoses, wires).
(3) On 4X2 vehicles, remove dust shield from the adapter housing by tapping gently with a brass drift and hammer.
(4) On 4X2 vehicles, remove the adapter housing seal with Seal Puller 7550.
(5) On 4X4 vehicles, remove the adapter housing seal using a slide hammer mounted screw.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install new adapter housing seal with Seal Installer 7888.
(2) On 4X2 vehicles, install dust shield using Special Tool D-187-B.
(3) Reinstall components removed to gain access to seal.
(4) Top off transmission.

hope this helps...McQue
