The rear end uses a crush sleeve. So if you can set the yoke to the exact same depth, it's pretty easy. But to much on the yoke and you'll wipe out the pinion bearing.Anyone have a good way to do this? I have a friend's diff out for FTBR bushings and discovered the pinion seal is seaping. Hoping to replace this seal our selves, but sounds like I should just drop the diff off with a new seal to a reputable shop?
Being out of the automotive service work for many years, I am very experienced - just not in differentials.
The hard part is if you go ANY farther than the crush sleeve was before it will change the pinion preload and most of the time it will end up taking out a bearing/cup.
