Good video. I'm glancing at this because I haven't done one in ~30 years and mine is leaking (former GM Master Tech) and I'm just looking for a refresher on fastener sizes and such. Mine is leaking by the splines, as evident that the nut is shiny. The tip I have is to use Loctite teflon pipe thread sealer on the pinion splines before reassembly. It might eliminate a come-back.

I got a 92 Chevy 4.3 v6 well it belonged to my pops and he messed up the seal and replaced it but didn't do it correctly, he was dying and wasntv in his right state of mind well I got the driveshaft off the truck and didn't know anything about aligning it up but I'm trying to figure out if I should drain the oil completely and replace it or just fill it up? Also I'm not sure how much torque I put on that nut that holds the yolk onto place? The parts I have right now are new including the nut.

I took my 2006 Silverado 1500 to a shop about 7 months ago and paid them to replace this seal. Now, I noticed a few days ago it started leaking again. I assumed they checked the bearing and the pinion yoke. It didn't leak right away, so maybe it is just a faulty seal or installation issue? It is under warranty yet and should be able to take it back, but what do you think about this?

I’m not understanding, the manual asks you to document the breaking torque (I work in an Industry that is torque dependent). Breaking torque is a qualitative value as it’s not a constant. I have a decade of research proving breaking torque is qualitative. This is my question, what is the torque speck for this bolt? I understand counting the threads. Wtf is the center bolt torque value?
