Unscrew the pinion nut , remove yoke , install new seal , reinstall yoke and tighten nut. No worries about crushing a crush sleeve and getting the preload too tight. The thing I would want to know is why is the seal leaking? Is it just a worn out seal, or is a bearing starting to go causing the seal to leak. Pat Good point! If there is a groove worn into the yoke you can get a repair sleeve, problem solver seal (moves the seal lip out IIRC), or just use some sealant on the seal to housing surface and tap the seal almost all of the way in, but no seated all the way. This will allow the seal to ride on virgin yoke surface... I have a Dana that has been running like that for 12 years. The problem solver seal was out of stock that day and we had to get the car back together.
