[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 16053387, member: 10216"] The pinion seal on my vert had been leaking so I finally got the chance to fix it. [ATTACH=full]1528200[/ATTACH] Love my Borla Stingers [ATTACH=full]1528201[/ATTACH] Tip the front end up to help drain the diff [ATTACH=full]1528208[/ATTACH] As far as I can tell, not too many of us run an LPW cover. But I’ve had mine for years, and it’s been great. [ATTACH=full]1528202[/ATTACH] Dorman makes a nice kit which includes the seal, a replacement flange, and the nut. It is part #697-507. I like to replace the companion flange when I do a pinion seal because a groove tends to wear into it at the spot where the seal rides. [ATTACH=full]1528203[/ATTACH] Removed the old flange with a generic 2-jaw puller. [ATTACH=full]1528204[/ATTACH] I’m a Rotunda/OTC special tool "enthusiast", so whenever possible I like to use the tools that are specified in our factory Ford service manual. The three tools shown in this picture are: 205-126 (T78P-4851-A) flange holding fixture; 205-002 (TOOL-4858-E) flange installer; and 205-208 (T83T-4676-A) pinion oil seal installer.
