Larry, There is a crush collar inside the front housing that sets the
pinion/ring gear endplay. By removing the pinion nut that setting has been
lost. I am not aware of anyway to get this corrected short of a new crush
collar and re torque the nut for proper meshing. You can only use the crush
seal once. Maybe someone else can advise you differently.

My neighbor has a 12 bolt Eaton gear set-up on his 66. He had the pinion
seal changed, and now has a noise while driving. How can this maintenance
effect the pinion depth if they just removed the nut, popped in a new seal
and retightened the nut?
