Re: 2000 Tundra Rear Brakes, Leaking Diff Oil?
Jeff,
This is a rear axle seal leak and a pretty bad one. You will need to replace the shoes, axle seal and axle bearing as they are likely flushed of their permanent packed lubricate.The wheel cylinder may also be damaged as the grease will swell the rubber parts. The drum could also be damaged as the greasy shoes can overheat spot on the drum surface causing "hot shots", raised areas that will not machine out.
You can do this job yourself but will need to take the axle to a machine shop to have the bearings pressed on and off.
The holes in the drums are for removal. Use some metric bolts to pull the drum, I believe these are 8 mm.
Mike
