I'v been trying to find an exploded view or the pinion set-up and view,
can't. Is there a separate nut to tighten the crush sleeve and isn't
touched when changing the seal? Then after that is changed, the yoke
is installed and the nut is tightned with an air gun? I"m I off base.
What could change the setting?

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?
