Mr Polytech Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hi. My local Toyota dealership cannot find me the gasket that goes between the differential carrier and axle housing on the 6 bolt dually full floating rear axle. They want a VIN, but that does not work as my unit is an 85' New Horizon which came equipped w/ the semi-floating rear axle. My replacement axle is a 6 bolt full floating dually axle which came off of a toyota dealership courtesy bus which was wrecked in 87' w/ 278 miles on it, and is identical to the replacement full floating 6 bolt axle for Toyota motorhome. The dealership ordered up gasket for a 79' Landcruiser full floating axle which had the correct number of bolt holes but was too large in diameter (wrong size). They tell me they cannot order the correct gasket w/ out a VIN # or year and model # of vehicle (excluding motorhome, which they cannot reference in their parts database).... Does anyone know what the full float Toyota replacement axle Toyota part# is??? HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 If I read it right, on a smaller toy it was silicon,maybe same on the one ton axel Agreed, it came with a thin paper gasket but silicon sealer works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Polytech Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Got ahold of the parts manager after posting here- he has now ordered one for a 87' Toyota 1 ton pickup w/ duallys and we'll see if that matches my template that I made be tapping a piece of cardboard into the studs on the rear axle housing...If that does not match, I guess I'll go w/ the Permatex orange heavy duty RTV sealer. I prefer to use the correct factory gasket if I can find it, however. I feel lucky that NAPA auto parts was able to match up the hub/ axle shaft seals.
