[TR] 74 triumph TR 6 pinion oil seal

[Andrew S. Mace]

 Mike, I'm sure it's doable and that someone will tell you how shortly. But
before you go to the trouble, you might want to clean up any gunk on or around
the breather hole and the split pin that is in it. The pin should be free to
wiggle about a bit, which in turn helps keep the breather open and
functioning. I think it's on the upper right on the cover assembly. What you
describe doesn't sound like much of a leak, and this might just be all you
need to do to pretty much stop that leak.

I am looking for the simplest way to replace the pinion oil seal at the front
of
the differential with out removing the entire differential. Is this even
possible? If it is possible what am I looking at as far as removing things,
difficulty and amount of time to get this done? Also any special tools to
remove
and replace the seal? At this time it is a small leak, 1 or 2 drops then stops
but it is the last leak I have. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
