I had a look in my Haynes manual and it shows a a parts explosion of whats in there and how to do the seals but not much more. It also states that due to the complexity and the special tools needed to rebuild, its cheaper to get an exchange unit or repaired by a specialist.

I had to look into this recently. (Fortunately transfer case turned out to be ok in the end).

Nobody seems interested in fixing them. And when you ask Toyota they say they can give you a second hand one, that will still cost ~ 2,000.

Sorry it's not good news. I hope you can find a replacement from the wreckers or something.
