[QUOTE="Bullitt1448, post: 17036451, member: 155102"] Any shiny stuff in the diff oil? If there is any at all, you’re going to have to pull it apart. If you wanted to be really sure, send a sample for analysis. If the bearings are the least worn now, they will not last long and you will be again. The pinion is pretty snug on the outer bearing, to the point it needs a couple of smacks to get it out. Personally I would pull it apart and look at it. The nut should be torqued so that while turning the pinion only (no ring gear, so the centre has to come out first, and no pinion seal) I believe the drag should be 16-25 in/lb. There is no spec for the torque of the nut to the pinion. As others have mentioned, in real life, to change the pinion seal, most just out with the old, in with the new and give it a couple uga duggas and let ‘er go. Not the proper way but it will work for awhile. Bottom line is you know some one else worked on it, you k ow what the proper fix is, tear it down now get a solid spacer kit from Jegs do it right and you will be leak free. [/QUOTE]
