Thanks, and thanks to everyone advice. Should be it now!

Thanks for all the help guys. I think it is fixed. I did what was told here. The hardest part was getting the old seal out. I left it on jack stands, with the rear end "high" in the air, and left it run in drive for about 10 minutes. No leaking now. Unless it does it after driving? It used to...

I have copper based anti sieze in a tube. Or high temp red wheel bearing grease.

I know. Hell the one guy was telling me to use thread locker. Ugh!! I dont have a Napa close by.

Okay, got my gun and socket. I went to three parts stores. None of them knew what Non hardening thread sealer was. I was told pipe dope does harden and crumble after a while. Can I use some hi temp wheel bearing grease I have on hand? I don't know what to get.

Thanks. I am grabbing a electric heavy duty impact to get it off. my buddy has a dewalt that he swears will work. I am going to line it back up the way it came off. I don't have a wrench that goes that high on the torque table. I marked the nut/yoke/pinion. And counted the threads. I am going to...

Outstanding! Thank you. I measured it, but was second guessing myself, since it is hard to measure inside the yoke. I appreciate you doing that for me!

Will do. Thanks very much. I didn't know to do that. I am searching everywhere on the net. I can't find the nut size. I am gonna grab a 1 1/4. It seems to measure up to that size.

Of I gotcha. I will check Napa today. I have pipe dope. If that made sense. But I will check the parts store. Just put it on the splines? Yeah, its hard to measure. I came up with 1 1/4. Hard to get the ruler inside the yoke area. I have to buy a socket when I am out today.

thanks very much! Do you mean as in permatex silicone? I have orange, black. A couple different ones. Thanks for the manuals! I truly appreciate that. I am trying to measure the nut. Looks to be a 1 1/4 inch. Hard to get the ruler on it.

I just found out that I am supposed to reset the Pinion Bearing Preload? What does that mean?

I know I was thinking that. I am "hoping" to mark the socket with white out, then tap it lightly, then wind it off slowly and count...hopefully!

Yeah, I dunno if it does or not.

Okay, I gotcha! I have to make sure the shaft and the nut are right back how they came off. I will makr everything well!! Yes, I was thinking that too. I don't think my torque wrench goes that high...LOL

I didn't think it would come off by hand? I thought it was really tight. LOL....

No I honestly don't. I do need to get one. Everything has been so simple so far. I never bought one.

Good idea! Thank you! I am grabbing the seal tonight. I have to wait till the weekend until my buddy brings his electric gun over. He has a really heave duty one.

Wow that kids was right. Thanks for checking for me. I just watched a video on you tube..."different vehicle", and he was using white out to line everything up and counting threads. I am gonna find out the torque and do it right. I just need to make sure there is nothing else that needs...

1971 Valiant 225---7 1/4 sure grip rear

Oh great! I was hoping something would be easy for a change. Do I only seed a seal. DO I need something else like that crush sleeve?

LOL..He sounds young on the phone. Thats why I got nervous. He called it a Differential Pinion Seal I asked him if it was for the yolk. He sounded confused. I need to figure out how to get that nut off. I need a socket too. I measured. Seems to be 1 1/4 inch socket I think

Heres the link to what he wants to sale me. Is this right? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_oil-seal-national_3271358-p?searchTerm=8516n

My 7 1/4 Sure grip is leaking. Its the seal where the yolk slides in. The part the drives shaft bolts to. I called Advance, and told him a yolk seal. I don't know the real name. I always called them YOLK! He said it is a differential pinion seal? Is that right? Wanted to make sure.

The only thing I can say is that out of gear when I turn the drivers side wheel forward the passenger side goes the same way. I dunno....

Okay, I finally got around to doing my rear end. I pulled the cover, and only a half of qt. came out. I may have to change my seal, and /or sleeve the yoke come spring. I used lsd additive, and also good rear end oil. It only held one qt.? Anyhow. Here's a photo. The wheels turn the same way, so...

Thanks very much!! I was honestly shocked when I went to a local car cruise that people were stopping and asking questions and liked my car. I wasn't ready for that. I figured being a more door i would get blown off. Also got to meet some guys from the forum here too!

Well I did appreciate it very much! It does well on the highway. But out of the hole, well ya know...LOL I am glad it at least has the 145hp version, it helps. I don't know wether to put a v8 in it, or build the slant. Still confused. Thanks for the comment. I really love this car, even though...

Thanks so much! I appreciate the effort. I also bookmarked that site. I should have mentioned. The tag on it says 2:76 on the cover. This car has 68k on it, and nothing has been touched. It sat for 15 years, and before that, was not ever altered at all. I will take some nice photos to put on...

It was in the air already. So I went up and threw it in Neutral. I spun the drivers side, and the passenger side wheel spun the same direction. I guess I need a tube of LSD. I seen advance had a tube of Lucas LSD additive. Is that okay? Also, I will take some photos Saturday while I have it...

Ah-ow....Do I need LSD additive? I have a 2:76 rear gear. I don't know how to tell if I need additive?
