My pinion seal has been leaking for a while so I finally decided to replace it and Ive ran into a problem. I went to remove the nut and it was just hand tight and the flange just pulled right off by hand. so now I know why it was leaking. but I have owned this car for 24 years and has never been touched in that time. so my question is did the nut just walk loose and is the bearings worn bad? I put it back together and put red locktight on the nut and I know you only suppose the tighten it to back where it was but I went 1 extra revolution on the nut to where it just started to get tight. I guess worst thing is going to happen is rearend locks up or driveshaft will fall out with flange attached. what do you guys think?
