Re: 1939 Super 8 pinion seal replacement

There is a crush sleeve type spacer used to establish the preload on the pinion bearings. Assuming the rear axle is quiet now you want to maintain the exact same preload so unless you're going to install a new crush sleeve, best you can do is count the EXACT number of turns needed to remove the pinion retaining nut, and reinstall to the same position.
