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.

**CONCLUSION**

Well after 2 weeks down I finally got my car on the road again and it feels great. Just got my passenger axle in today with the carrier bracket installed. The shop that does axles rebuild came through and swapped the carrier bracket to my new axle. Got everything installed just before it rained lol turns out if you don't have the carrier bracket on your new axle it will cause the axle to leak at the tranny like what you said azian, so make sure you transfer your old bracket or buy a new one my advice is to use the old one because they're build sturdy no need to buy a new carrier bracket if the old ones still good and save yourself some money. Overall the removal and install was really easy but it also depends on how incline you are about this stuff. The only real problem I had was the carrier bracket and the fact that the dealer got me the wrong items (waited 2 weeks for the wrong items). Also the 3 quarts of syncromesh that spilled to the floor when I though the carrier bracket was optional to install lol but turns out you need that or you will end up with the problem I had. So learn from my mistakes hopefully this will help someone out their. Big Thanks to Azian without him my car would be down for a couple more weeks lol and alltracman for chiming in with his advice. You guys ROCK !!!
