Ford states in their service information to measure the torque required to turn the pinion shaft before disassembly. Mark the companion flange to the pinion then remove the nut and pull the flange with a suitable puller. Replace the seal and the nut. Ford also says to use a new crush sleeve too, but I never have and have never had a problem. If you do put in a new sleeve, you will absolutely need the special tool to hold the companion flange. The pinion nut is a self locking type. Tighten the nut until you measure the same torque with your inch pound torque wrench. DO NOT torque to 300 or 400 ft lbs. That will collapse the crush sleeve and you will cause the pinion bearings to fail in short order. You MUST use a new nut. It won't stay tight if you don't. They aren't at all concerned with the amount of torque on the nut, only the amount of preload on the bearings. Used bearing specs are 8 to 14 inch lb. New are 16-29 inch lb.
