and it still stinks bad, but mostly like febreeze.
I think birfs are ok, but brakes are shit. Ordered the axle rebuild kit. Need to get rotors and pads and do it all at once.

The front axle rebuild is a pain in the ass. Make sure you have a 54mm socket. Plenty of shop rags too, it’s a mess. Each knuckle needs about a tube and a half of grease so stock up before you start.
Rotors are expensive as shit, and yes you want to do it all at once. You can use oem 100 series Toyota pads with a little tweaking.
I recommend oem Toyota parts for things that matter. Intake tube, throttle cable, oil pump gasket, front main seal, distributor o ring, valve cover gasket and seals. That’ll stop most leaks, then you get to reseal the two oil pans, a royal pain in the ass.
