I changed my rear differential pinion seal using these steps...
1) Marked the pinion bolt and nut with a crayon
2) Counted number of revolutions when backing the nut off
3) Marked the point where the nut came off with the previous mark
4) Pulled the yoke and seal
5) Cleaned both and rubbed both down with new diff fluid
6) Replaced yoke and tapped on an inch
7) Started pinion nut where the mark was and counted revolutions
8) Backed nut off a hair and reinstalled drive shaft
Just wanted to know if I'm going to end up clicking gears or broken down in another state. I didn't have the tools to check the preload of the bearing and from what I read you have to pull the axles. I was hoping this wasn't a $5 repair that'll end up a $450 diferential replacement.
