On the pinion seal, count the number of threads from the end to the nut before you loosen it (you need to remove the flange to change the seal) and mark the location with something. When you put that nut back and retighten it, you'll need to get it in the same spot to be sure the preload is as close as possible to original. When I did this, I also lightly stalked the flange nut with a small punch to insure it would not remove itself at a later date. I remember that being fairly snug!
