Axle Help, Passenger Axle *Completed* Options

[Remy]

Hey all, I have a question the axle I bought didn't come with the items I circled is it suppose to come with it or do I have to order the parts from toyota ?? The one circled in green is some kind of mount for the axle not sure whats it called and the red one thats circled is some kind of metal seal for the axle, after putting in my new right axle which didn't come with those didn't know if I needed that metal axle seal connected everything put in new tranny fluid started the car then all my tranny fluid started spilling from that area that is circled red. Did I get the wrong axle ?? Oh and I tried to reuse those parts from the old axle bad idea doesn't work.

the carrier axle mount for the passenger side is never included when purchasing a new axle. you have to remove the carrier mount from the old axle by removing the snap ring inside (you'l need either a large snap ring pliers or a good set of pck hooks and a small flat screwdriver). then hammer out the outer half of the carrier mount. then use a bearing press to remove the inner half of the carrier mount from the bearing.

it can be tricky to tell if your axle is properly installed without the carrier mount correctly aligned to the block and bolted. one way i found is to insert the axle into the tranny and if you're able to bolt the carrier mount to the block, then the axle is properly inserted. the reason why it was leaking was probably because you had inserted the axle in the tranny improperly. so first finish swapping the carrier mount from the old to the new, install the new axle and bolt the carrier mount (to ensure that it's actually nserted correctly), then see if it still leaks.

this is what i learned when i was doing my pass. axle.
