Doesn't hurt (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't). I'd use Hylomar or
something that doesn't harden or say 'adhesive;' could make it very
hard to remove (hopefully, not necessary--again). Very thin film
only, most of it will get pushed out anyway.<br>

seal. Pulled nut, removed seal. now waiting for new seal.
when I put it back, should I use a smear of Permatex around rear
of oil seal and on the splines if the drive shaft?</div>

<div>BTW--I'm doing this while the tranny is installed.</div>
