Default Anyone ever replaced the seal on the transfer case driveshaft?

It looks like I have a leak where the driveshaft enters the front transfer case.

Anyone ever done this job? Any printouts from the factory manual about how to do it?

Any help would be appreciated, here's a pic of the leak. I've got a decent idea of what needs to be done, hoping someone has some more info.

Looks like a straight forward job, remove the nuts to drop the drive shaft, pull out the flange from the transfer case then replace the seal. I think the part number is 90311-41007 but don't take that as gospel.

Have a look here as well this looks like the same setup as the GX.

Thanks, That's the site I was going off, I just wanted to make sure it was the same for the GX with the same seal, nut and torque settings.

Probably is that setup is used on the 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra...GX.. but having the factory service manual wouldn't hurt.

There is a write up in here somewhere. I think this is a very common issue for the earlier GX's. There were a couple tricks listed that would help you from what I recall.
