My 85 front axle is filled with a nice diff oil/grease milkshake. Since i'm gonna tear down this axle and build it up right with new shafts and such, where can i get a kit that includes all the necessary seals and such? The typical toyota dealer should carry it, correct? Anyother recommendations?

JT and All Pro have a kit with almost everything for $100.

Several places have more complete rebuild kits:

All Pro

Spector Off Road

Here's my writeup and links page on the rebuild:

What did it come with, and what did it run ya? I'm going to replace the wheel bearings as well..does it include them as well?

The kit has it all!

Is there anything special about the hub socket? I know my IFS Tacoma only uses a 36mm socket to remove the hubs...and i can leech free grease

Randy's Ring and Pinion has a complete kit including Koyo bearings for $108, I think.
