Well it lasted about a thousand kilometres but it is leaking again.
I figure that the shaft is too worn. Its done 550000k.
I didnt want to get a second hand flange shaft as il just be asking to repeat this mess all over again.
Toyota priced me up a new flange for $230 NZ and two weeks delivery ex japan.
What im going to do is ive contacted an enginneering supply shop they will get me a wear sleeve/speedi sleeve and il fit that over this current flanges shaft where the seal runs.
Im in no rush as its not leaking much but il repost in the next few weeks when i get it done, ive never done a speedisleeve before but it sounds relatively easy.
So any one else doing this job be aware that the shaft might be too badly worn to keep a seal working.
My shaft has wear marks along it indicating that the seal has being changed before and the new seal was put in a slightly different postion to ride on. As there is no counterbore where you sink the seal too that means that that can be done, however it seems there is only probably room on the shaft to do that originally and then once more. Since the seal has two slips, the main seal and the dust lip it wears quite a length of the shaft.
Without the counterbore for seating it allows for different postioning of the seal but it also has the tradeoff that the seal can go in cocked (not square to housing).
Having a new shaft speedisleeve on it means i will be able to put the seal in a lot better position to minimise the chance of it cocking.
will update later
