If I'm wrong here, somebody please speak up - but - I believe you can change those seals by simply removing the pinion flange and "hooking" the old one out with a seal puller and driving a new one in with a littttle hammer and a block of sooooft wood.
Of course; ALL the books say if you loosen the pinion nut for any reason great care (and often replacement parts) is called for to make sure the pinion preload is not altered.
Thanks for the response. I have done that procedure on a rear differential. The question is; is to posssible on the front output axles {shafts}? Is there any acccess to them? Thanks; Webster
