Driveshaft at rearend off
Take 35mm (I think) socket to big nut on yoke off
remove yoke
Take seal out ( screwdriver or chisel to catch the edge and bend it in and you will be able to pop it out)
clean area good
tap in new seal with big socket or very carefully tap it in with hammer going around the seal evenly and take care it can be done
Put grease on lip of seal
put back in yoke
put on nut and torque to about 100 ft lbs, dont go too much cause you can cause problems with bearings.
After you have nut on and torqued stake the nut right next to where it meets the threads and mark with a little paint stripe so you can see if it moves

I was messin around online (as usual) looking at places I wanna hit up on my Bday (11th) so I will miss that run,. BUT I came across a place called the Mogollon Rim outside of Payson. If I can talk Shannon in to camping out and it's not too stupid cold out, we will most likely camp at Spillway Campground. Im going to look at hotels close to there as well just incase. Has anyone ever been to the Mogollon Rim? Pictures look worth the trip! Is it hiking to see the views? Any info would be awesome.. If it's a great place to go, maybe we can make a run out of this or something

Anyway here is a link where they talk a little about the pinon nut torque. Look at their step 13 in the write up.

That would suck to have it too tight or too loose! Either way, you could probably google and get the correct info. Or just call a local drivetrain repair shop or dealer for that fact and ask them where they set it up at. Good luck.

The mogollon rim is awesome. Forest road 300 (rim road) is a graded dirt road with spectacular views. I have always dry camped there and october 8th was cold, like 30 degrees.
For the pinion seal as long as it isn't over tightened or under tightened (6 in.lbs. rotational force) its easy. If i remember correctly The trailmaster front driveshaft doesn't replace the pinion yoke, only the transfer case yoke. That's the way the rear is also.
