    Sinubukan iyan ni Speedyfix sa 2000 Corolla ko dati.

    Seal parts galing Toyorama.

    Baklas distrubutor, linis, palit seal, balik pin...

    Ayun habang dahan dahan pinupukpok para ibalik ang pin, basag iyong parang housing na nag hold sa seal.

    Walang mabili na seal housing kahit surplus.
    Nauwi sa buong surplus Japan distributor, 4800 Pesos.

    youtubing,
    the procedure seems straightforward, if a bit laborious.
    and looking at the comments below the video, a number complain that the leak recurs soon after, again.

    my guess is,
    if the shaft wobbles (from wear and tear), no amount of oil seal replacement will result in long-term cure.
    but the trouble is, one won't know that, unless one tries it out first and/or has the shaft examined at a machine shop, once dis-assembled.

    good luck, sir.
