11. Remove the J 45012.
12. Install the J 45019 to the flange.
13. Using the J 45019, remove the flange.
14. Using a flat-bladed tool, remove the drive pinion seal. Take care not to damage any sealing surfaces.
Installation Procedure
Important: Ensure the pinion bore is free of excess gear oil. Excessive fluid can get trapped behind the new seal's dust shield. The trapped
gear oil can get squeezed out when installing the pinion flange and give the illusion of a continued leak.
1. Lubricate the drive pinion flange sealing surface of the drive pinion seal with synthetic gear oil GM P/N 12378514 (Canadian P/N 88901045) or
equivalent.
2. Install the drive pinion seal to the J 45005.
3. Using the J 45005, install the pinion seal to the differential.
4. Remove the J 45005.
5. Remove the J 45019.
6. Install the J 45012.
7. Install the pinion flange to the drive pinion shaft.
Important: The pinion shaft threads and the pinion flange nut must be free of residue and debris prior to application of threadlocker in
order to ensure proper adhesion and fastener retention.
8. Prepare the pinion shaft threads and the pinion flange nut for assembly:
