hi all,

i'm replacing the pinion seal on my bolt. that is if i can track down the right socket. according to my measurements it's a 1 11/16" nut. does that sound right? finding a thin walled socket in that size was tough this weekend.

then i will have to find a new nut. someone went after this one with a punch at some point in its life.

also, if the seal was leaking should i expect the yoke to have a groove on it? the truck has 55k miles.
