Gary, been there done that etc.(see 
http://www.ftconnect.com/~alemen/spitfire/spitfire.html, and click on diary at 
the bottom of the page and look at December 1999.)

No special tool, really you can make one yourself froma a scrap of steel.
I have no special tool what so ever, just sockets, screwdrivers etc.

Subject: Leaking differential





Since the GL-5 fluid I filled my differential with is currently leaking
all over my garage floor, I am considering replacing my pinion oil seal.
>From the description in my Repair/Operation manual it doesn't look all
that complicated as long as the relationships between flanges are
scribed for reassembly and I count the turns of the holding nut.
However, the manual calls for a Tool S337 to "hold the differential
pinon flange"; unfortunately, there is no picture of this special
implement.
My question therefore is whether this tool is mandatory to do the job or
is there something I can rig up from normal garage tools.  And further,
are there any special considerations in undertaking this job.

Thanks to all.
