My front differential weeps oil front the pinion bearing seal. Has anyone fixed one of these? I think that you have to take the nut for the pinion off which is preloaded.....

People will tell you to count the threads then put the nut back on the same number of turns. I am not one of those people who believes in that. I would only remove a pinion nut on an axle that that doesn't use a crush sleeve. (I don't know much about these axles, I only assume it uses a crush sleeve)
