    Ok I'm no pro but trying to replace the rear differential seal on my 2007 Tundra. Having trouble removing the differential nut. It looks like the nut is locked or peened into an indent in the shaft. Anyone know if thats the case and how to handle it?

    the nut is staked. there are special chisels for undoing this but you should be able to do it with a cross cut chisel
