I started on the rear pinion seal leak this morning. I jacked the drivers side up and put stands under it. Safety first. I marked everything so I can put everything back as it was. I counted 2.5 threads on the nut and I center punched all the parts to line back up. I took the drive shaft loose and put a 2x4 over the trailing arms to hold it up out of the way. I used my 18volt impact to get the pinion nut off which was pretty easy. I got everything took a part and cleaned up ready to reinstall. I'm waiting to pick up the new seal at O-Reilly's @2pm. Hopefully I'll be done this afternoon and post finshed pictures.
