I need to replace my pinion seal and bearing. I just purchased the kit from latemodelrestoration and I just wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions to ease this soon to be pain in the a$$ installation. I know there's a ford tool used to hold the pinion whilst one removes the pinion nut...anyone remember the part number for that or have some other trick to do that???

i have a trick. remove the nut before you take out the ring gear and locker. works like a champ.

hold on to the yoke flange with your hand and a rag......use impact obviously.

Click to expand...

that would do it.

i have installed my pinion and pulled it out as far as i could then put a small tip tie as far down as i could on the threads to hold it in place and i reinstalled my ring gear/locker and then cut the tie. the ring gear will hold it in and keeping it from turning again then i reinstalled the nut.

i wish i had a nice impact gun.
