I've been working underneath the '63 Standard Wagonaire, time to address the leaking pinion grease seal on the Dana 27 axle. The car is up on jack stands, wheels off, so no good way to block the axle from turning. The shop manual shows two tools being used - one is a long bar [J-6371, companion flange holding tool] that is used to hold the U-joint flange stationary while the nut is loosened (was tightened to 150 ft-lbs). Then, the second tool, the U-joint flange puller J-2576, is placed over the bar to pull the flange off the pinion shaft.
While I've accumulated way too many tools over the years, these two are not in the garage. Any suggestions on how to deal with the axle seal?
