Dana 60 differential
If you pull the differential out of the axle housing and dont mess with the pinion shaft do you have to reset up your gears. The reason im asking is my driver side axle tube is leaking. And i want to replace the seal. I dont have the equipment to set the back lash. Just curious..

nope you'll be fine. you can even pull the pinion out as long as you put all the shims back. you do NOT want to loosen the bolts around the ring gear! then you will have to have them setup.
when you take it apart lay everything out as you took them apart, they have to go back in the way they came out!

If it is a front Dana 60, I doubt the bearings need replacing, unless they are rusted or if you find a bunch of large metal chunks in the oil.
