Working now on the pinion seal and a couple questions come up.
heck of a time getting the old seal out of the retainer and then find red stains.... suggesting gasket sealer used liberally.......
first question is terminology:
1- is this what the green bible refers to as jointing compound?
2-driving flange cleaned up reasonably well but is not perfect. Note small irregularities that run parallel to the seating of the oil seal...... is this going to hold oil or is a new part or speedi-seal needed?( see attached photo)
3- joint washer arrives from host/RN. I expected a paper gasket (as with other joint washers) but find it is thin metal item.- looking a bit different from what is seen in the green bible. (See attached picture). Is this correct?
Thanks again for all the help.
