With the low sulphur fuel being used now, it takes awhile for the seals to leak-just depends on how much vehicle usage. It took me about a hour to do both the shaft seal & top pump cover seal. Parts about $40.00 from memory. You better know what ya doing, as it is a fiddly job & easy to stuff up i.e. theres a small spring/damper that you can loose, mark the throttle lever/shaft when replacing the o-ring other wise if put back wrong the engine will rev sky high or wont idle. Also when puting the pump cover plate back on, be carefull that the high speed mixture screw is not sitting on top of the governor plate-it has to sit behind it. A Toyota Dealer also told me that the new seals are changed to suit the low sulpher fuel!
