2003 Toyota 4.7 Rear Main Seal Oil Leak Fixed!

[@KSJNX]

great video. I have a small leak and need to knock this out at some point. I will come back to this video for help. Thanks for putting the time in.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks for commenting👍

[@jonmuckey2189]

Looking forward to doing this on a 2007 Sequoia in the near future. Thanks for putting the time to make this instructional video. In regards to the starter, that looks like a pain to change out on this car. Im used to having starters sitting near the bottom of the bellhousing.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Yeah the starter is a pain but it's doable. Glad you found it helpful!👍

[@misfit2411]

I got 02 with 280k miles on it. thank you!!! for the vid very very detailed!!! so at least i know what goin on in up there. luckily mines just a residue and a drip at this point, but if it looks like in the vid ill know to replace. thank you again!!! 👏👏

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks for the comment!👍

Where do you put the grey cream at?

[@drewdouglas4883]

I’ve got a 4.7 Toyota that threw the timing belt and now I got to replace the motor. Great video on how to take the back off. Too bad you don’t live close I would bring it to you

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks for the comment👍

[@robertosequoia]

Drew te aconsejo que ponga una corea nueva y pruebes por que esos motores 4.7 2uzfe no doblan valvulas

[@robertosequoia]

Buen video es el unico que hay en youtube de ese motor 2uzfe excelente 👏👏👏👏👏

[@sokhayin3055]

Love your videos….Thank you

[@ChristmanGarage]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment👍

[@zalinmendez8688]

What is the torque spec for the torque converter ?

[@jonathanwright-pv4cy]

Thank you for the video, this was very helpful! Where is your shop located?

[@marcosbravo87]

I wonder what are the OEM parts for the seal,and o ring

[@kriztofer9968]

Does anyone have any he OEM part numbers for these? TIA

[@chrisewer9570]

about to do this same job on my 2007 sequoia, thanks for the video. I wanna replace the transmission filter and put fresh fluid in it. it has 285k on it and people have told me that i shouldn't change the fluid. what do you think?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I cut my teeth as a mechanic in a transmission shop and we serviced transmissions all day long with no issues. However over the years as transmissions have evolved I have heard horror stories of transmissions working and after a service they give trouble? so in my mind it wouldn't hurt a thing but there is that chance? Thanks for the comment

[@CodyRayDees513]

Drain and fill. Don’t flush.

[@jonathanwallace2209]

Great video! Really the only one I can find covering this repair. Any idea how it would change for a 4wd Sequoia with the rear differential attached to the transmission? Thank you!

[@ChristmanGarage]

Just a transfer case behind the transmission and a front driveshaft if I had to guess probably not too bad these vehicles have a lot of space under them👍

[@jonathanwallace2209]

Oh yes, I meant transfer case. Thanks so much for your response!

[@CodyRayDees513]

Thanks for the video. The job is actually not too bad on these 4.7 engines. I bought a 4Runner not to long ago. I think my only oil leak is from the valve cover. I’ll have to check her out and make sure it doesn’t have this issue. She has 330,000 miles on her. I like to ride her hard and put her up wet. Lol

[@ChristmanGarage]

👍😀

[@waelelbai]

After replacing rear main seal 4wd drive move sequoia but dif lock is functional will it affect the 4wd

[@mumbleypegjones6191]

Yeah the starter replacement is a beast.

[@ChristmanGarage]

👍

[@humbertovelarde7350]

Great video congrats I have the same problem but not too bad on my gx470 all wheel drive , I just want to know if is same process and parts ??

[@ChristmanGarage]

Few more steps because of the AWD other than that should be pretty close

[@richmacdod]

Thank you for this great video. I’m trying to track down the O ring but don’t know the part number or what it’s called, any help would be appreciated greatly.

[@ChristmanGarage]

I installed a felpro rear main seal and it came with the o-ring in the package

[@joshstanz9943]

Awesome video! Us DIY guys appreciate it very much. Any chance you have the part number still for those parts?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I don’t have the numbers however I get 90% of my parts from O’Reillys and they are normally right on spot I do know that the kit I got was a felpro kit👍

[@joshstanz9943]

[@jkpalms]

great video, thank you.

Thanks for the comment👍

I laughed and learned thanks man

[@ChristmanGarage]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment👍

[@Pap3rPlanesss]

How long did the job take you? Strange thing can't find that OEM o ring off toyota

[@ChristmanGarage]

Probably about 4 to 6 hours. The o ring came with the felpro rear seal

[@paradigmshift9772]

Does anyone know the report that for the metal plate behind the flywheel/flex plate?

[@faris2595]

Great job 👏 👍

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks👍

[@Elite_Employee]

Got me a gx470 with this here motor. She startin to leak. Yup.definitely some drippage occurring. Once I discovered it I was like what in the tarnation is goin out round hea son??

[@ramonraudales3684]

Do you have O ring’s part number?

[@abelardogonzalez8379]

Where are you located? Really good job

[@ChristmanGarage]

Thanks👍 North Carolina 👍

[@williamstafford9760]

Top notch 👌

[@johnmedina5399]

I'll probably track down the toyota ones so I won't have to worry about for another 20 years. These 4.7 engines are great engines.

[@kriztofer9968]

Thinking the same. Does anyone have the OEM part numbers for both of these seals! TIA

[@die-eggocamaney6967]

Where did u get the parts? Can u tell me the parts number . I have a 06 sequoia 2wd. Its starting to leak bad.

[@ChristmanGarage]

I get all my parts from the local O reillys give them a visit or call they will hook you up👍

[@die-eggocamaney6967]

@@ChristmanGarage ok, I tried eurozone and advance, but no luck.

[@jimborambo958]

Yup Toyota is 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19mm.

[@alexpruneda2664]

What size were the fly wheel bolts

[@ChristmanGarage]

They were 12 point and if I’m not mistaking they were 17mm

[@Adyfire]

They are 14mm with 12 point head. Had to use a 9/16” in a pinch but that worked fine

[@apcsniper]

Is it the same on a 01 3.4 liter?

[@ChristmanGarage]

Never done one of them not sure🤔

[@ggenovez]

how many hours was that?

[@ChristmanGarage]

If I had to do it again without filming I could probably do it easily in 4 hrs

[@ryancrooks3645]

Make me wanna dive in. Book time shows me bout 8 hrs

[@melquismendoza8968]

Where are you I need a job transmission leak Toyota sequoia 2002

[@Braapcity]

Oh god, you used a Fel Pro seal on a Toyota. You will be doing it again in 30 days. Also you used wrong sealant, Toyota FIPG is the stuff to use.

[@ChristmanGarage]

Must have got a good one it’s been over a year still dry👍 thanks for the comment

[@Braapcity]

@@ChristmanGarage photos or it didn't happen. I know a lot of MASTER techs that work for dealerships, Fel Pro is the worst to use on a Toyota or anything that is not a GM engine. Fail-Pro works great on GM engines. I've seen it time and time again. You got LUCKY if that thing held up, but like I said pics or it didn't happen

[@ChristmanGarage]

@@Braapcity next time I work on it I will get some pics it’s a friend of mines, but I will say I own a 2005 Toyota highlander with 330k miles and I have replaced valve cover gaskets with spark plug hole seals and front timing cover seals with no issues either?? Maybe I’m just lucky. I do value Master mechanics opinions especially the ones who work on only a specific vehicle all the time because they see it first hand! Once again thanks for the comment I’m always open to criticism 👍

[@Braapcity]

@@ChristmanGarage I'm just giving you a hard time, if your repairs are holding up that is all that matters

[@abelardogonzalez8379]

Nice job, where are you located?

[@humpday2267]

Flex plate not a flywheel.
