Rear pinion seal

Did you assemble it correctly? Looks like the wear sleeve is in front of the entire seal? Why was it taken apart, a leak? I did have just last week a National seal leaked between the steel and rubber joint, didn't even make it down the road
can you explain more? I reinstalled it the same way as it came out
Well idk, now I'm confused. I looked up the part # you have in the picture and I'm not sure how that's supposed to work.
I've always used the two piece setup that you drive a wear sleeve onto the yoke and a standard type pinion seal into the housing.
Almost looks like the seal was spinning in the bore, which doesnt happen. Does it?
That was my thought too. That's why I asked if he lubed it. If it stuck to the pinion shaft, it would turn the whole seal and tear out somewhere.
My 08 that I did didn't have a wear sleeve. Just right onto the pinion shaft

If the surface finish is smooth that's possible. The seal he has pictured, the ID doesn't appear to be designed to spin on the yoke
Toby, I’d put a oem seal in it and send it
I think I figured out what I done wrong. I did not set the sleeve on the yoke first. I put the sleeve. The seal and then installed the yoke. I think it was not installed far enough on the yoke. I did install a gm seal this time but I do think this is totally on me
Thank you for your help. But I am not pulling axles for a pinion seal.
Yes, most people don't do the job correctly, but it usually turns out ok.
