80S Land Cruiser Oil leak fix

Okay guys, this is a little long, but I cover a lot of the snags that folks run into when fixing these common leaks on a 80S Land Cruiser. Mine is a 1996 and I love it. Working on these leaks is going to bring you closer to a full understanding of the vehicle and the great straight 6 engine that Toyota designed for these vehicles. I first go through the tear down to get to the various areas to be worked on; like the order I use to keep the battery connected long enough to utilize the engine to break the crank bolt loose, make way for the distributor o-ring replacement (battery and battery tray removal), and how I get the fan and fan shroud out with no hoses being disconnected. I used the method described by many on ih8mud dot com to loosen the 7 philips screws holding the oil pump cover on, but with a late twist using a small Milwaukee impact screw gun. This little tool is awesome around the house and shop. Lastly, I employ the method of holding the auto-trans flexplate to re-torque that same crank bolt and button up the front end again. This stopped 98% of my leaks for sure, but I think I'm going to tackle the oil pan and maybe the rear main seal next. I'll film that as well. Hope this helps at least one person do these fixes!
