Has anyone ever changed one of them? How difficult is it to do,will i need a hoist or its possible to be done at home?

Were to get one of them in Perth, I need to change my as its leaking oil badly.

Any help appreciated.

If itd FWD just drop the exhaust and you can get to the sump bolts , its hasnt got a gasket it runs a sealant , you will have to take the windage plate off too and clean up all the mounting faces before you stick it all together again.

also.. u will need to drop cross member..

its not a gasket either its sylicone.. make sure its sensor safe too.. bead the block and the sump ..as u have a divider plate in teh centre to prevent heavy shit to leave the bottom of sump..

Yup, get some RTV sealant, sensor safe loctite stuff....you won't need a hoist, but some axle stands will make an extremely painful job fairly easy....

Make sure you clean things properly, and put enough sealant in the right place - so that you get a good seal, but not a big squirty mess everywhere.

even though you can get gaskets, dont attempt to use them (you'd need two) as they would be too thick and you would probably strip the threads using such short bolts. black silastic is all you need.

I only use genuine Toyota Sump Goo.

... but Silastic or the other automotive use sealants will also work.
