Pinion seal on diff I've replaced it once before and i am wondering if someone knows if anyone sells a relocation kit. I think all the kit does is move the seal one way or the other to get it out of the grove that has worn into the pinion.

Probably won't help much, but I've heard of a thin collar type shim that is used on 1ton chevy full-floating rear axels that does the same thing that you are looking to do. It shimms the area that the rear hub seal rides on and "repairs" the worn down area that contacts the hub seal. If they make 'em for that, mabey they make them in diff dia, and thicknesses. Just a thought. It doesn't move the seal but rather replaces the worn material.
