[QUOTE="mr.speaker, post: 12037947, member: 121880"] You guys are making this way to complicated. This is how I do it on rear ends that are fine. Remove the drives haft bolts (12mm 12 point) Index the drive shaft with paint or a scribe Push drive shaft all the way into tranny and hang it with some wire, (you can remove the driveshaft but some fluid will come out of the tranny) set parking brake (I personally lodge a screwdriver in the rotor to lock it up with the caliper bracket. With a scribe or paint mark a straight line on the pinion nut,flange,and pinion shaft. Break loose the nut using a 1 1/16" six point socket. Count the turns using the painted lines. You may need a puller to remove the flange. (I always do) Use a screwdriver or seal puller to remove seal, have something under there to catch the diff fluid. Install new seal, use a block of wood and hammer to make it flush. Install flange making sure to line up marks. Install pinion nut and count the turns and lining up the marks to get it exactly how it was before. I personally apply some Locktite on the threads. Install driveshaft by aligning marks made earlier, apply some Locktite on the 12 mm 12 point bolts and torque to 83 ft lbs. It's that simple. Unless there was a problem before with rear, counting the turns of the nut will work fine with the already crushed sleeve. Also another not, that seal doesn't usually blow out so check the vent to make sure it's clear..I've seen some vent tubes that were clogged with gunk and that pressure would blow the seal. [/QUOTE]
