Takes longer to go & get the seal than doing the job.
Make sure you put a bit of silicone on the pinion thread & wipe the hole where the seal sits. Put a wipe of oil on the seal surface as well, it helps the seal work initially.
i remember the first time i did one of these i missed the seal and mashed the no1 and no2 thread together on the pinion. couldnt get the pinion nut started and eventually solved the problem with a thread file.... good times
I pre-empt my tune-ups now. Order all my spares from Rockauto, in bulk.
Cheers

I forgot to pr-empt and needed an air-filter today. Supercrap price was $50.00, but i got one "trade price" for $38.00 at another shop. Rockauto price is as low as $2.18c for same thing... someone is taking the piss...
Stretched the wheelbase a little to fit the HnT SYE with stock front XJ driveshaft - adjusted the rear shackles and replaced the trans mount and removed the crossmember drop while I was at it.
