  • You can usually just replace the seal right behind the yoke. The yoke nuts can be extremely tight though so air tools help out a lot.

  • If it has a crush sleeve to set pinion preload (D35), you need to be careful to not further crush it when putting the pinion nut back on. If it has shims (D44) then just tighten to spec.

  • I guess with a crush sleeve the sleeve should also be replaced, shouldn't it?

  • Technically you should replace the crush sleeve. It is one of those things though that you can get away with not doing. Just re-torque to specs and you'll be all right.

  • well thank u gentlemen very helpfully very indeed :hmm:
