I've never paid a shop to do anything on any of my rigs ever, so I'm having a difficult time pulling the trigger, just outta pride mainly, lol.
just go for it. Odds are it won't be to bad. If you can't budge the pinion nut just take it to the shop at that point. I know all about pride. I have never turned a vehicle over for repair other than alignments and machine work. In my entire life I only saw my dad take 2 things to a shop. One was a frozen front u joint in an axle that had to be torched out and the other was a hydraulic cylinder that bent into a "J" that also had to be torched apart to be rebuilt.
