15. After inspecting the end yoke, grab the pinion
head and hit the top of the pinion with a soft
faced mallet to remove the pinion from the
carrier.
17. Remove the slinger and outer pinion bearing
and set it aside (Figure 16).
16. Pull the bearing off the pinion, using Miller
tool C-293 (Figure 14). Inspect it for signs of
damage.
NOTE: If there is no oil leakage from the pinion
seal during use, there will be no damage now. If
there was leakage, look for a cut in the rubber
where the seal ran on the end yoke or check to
see if the garter spring on the seal fell off.
(Figure 15) Other leakage could be the result of
a seal that was not properly installed and the
sealant on the outside lip did not seal. Following
this inspection, remove the seal and discard it.
