After an inspection on my car i was told my rear pinion seal was leaking. I don't think it is terribly bad but I think I need to replace it. How should I go about fixing it? Thanks. I have 130k on my LT1.

My friend has a compressed air nut remover(forgot what they call em) so getting it off wasn't too hard. The hardest part I would say was getting the old seal off. I pryed it off with a screwdriver. We didn't look which way the yoke was on before we took it off however and that could of caused a problem. I put it back on almost straight up and down and then turned it a little to the left. I beleive that is how it was before. Thanks guys. Total cost was about 12 bucks I'm glad I did it myself.

haha, I suppose they are called impact guns. I didn't put a crush sleeve on. How would that of helped?
