Re: Replaced pinion seal but did I do it right?

Interesting. I've rebuilt probably 30 different axles and I don't think any of them would let me get the front pinion bearing out without driving the pinion. Maybe some of the absolutely worn out ones. Some of them require absolutely hammering the F out of it. Put the nut on a few turns and use a 3/4" brass drift to drive in the center of the pinion until it slips. Then you can remove the nut and the pinion.
