Thank you for the detailed description of the pinion seal replacement. Where I ran into trouble was after removing the large U-shaped clips, the bearing caps would not budge without applying some force to push them put of the joint. I guess people use a ball-joint puller for that, I was using a C-Clamp with a large socket to push on the opposite side of the joint. That was working but the force required was at the outer limits of the C-Clamp, finally I thought better of it and just pushed everything back and put the clips back on.
I was having trouble similar to this thread:
Rear U-Joint disassembly As far as tires, I have been very happy with Hankook H724 thin whitewalls, which will set you back maybe $500 for a set of 4, assuming you can still get them, I purchased some last year without any trouble.
