Replacing rear pinion seal...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mr Rock:
Like skibhm says, mark it ! Then I count the turns it takes to unscrew the nut so I know how far to put it back on.

Bill is right you should install a new nut, but I have had good luck reusing the nut.

skibum:
I have replaced hundreds of pinion seals & have never seen one back off yet. You can use Lock Tite if you want the extra security.

Cool thanks.  I am doing the pinion seal this weekend.  What gear oil do you guys recommend?  I usually run 75W-90.  Just wondering if I could be running something better...

skibum:
Synthetic 75W90 is fine unless your towing then you should use synthetic 75W140
