Well, after putting it off for a long time, I finally got under the car to replace pinion seal. Everything has gone quite well. I had a bit of a surprise when I went to remove the castled nut from the front of the differential and found it was not much more than finger tight. Might explain a few things. So I have two questions. First, does anyone know the torque specs for this nut? Secondly, how much play, if any, should there be on the pinion shaft, fore and aft, at the front of the differential housing? I hope I asked the second question correctly. I'm assuming that if the nut is torqued correctly, if will address the play in the pinion.
Thoughts?
