Plug wrench....
Rob....thanks for clarification.
The jeep got a new pinion seal this AM....took only 30 min....I let the mechanic know where to apply the RTV as per your earlier suggestion....drove home and so far no leak/weep....the old seal did not have any rubber seal left at all. Old one used to leak standing still overnight....gave me a chance to change diff oil again as the first change (two weeks ago) oil came out like malted milk.
With new add a leaf on the driver side both sides now measure 37 inches to top of rear fender well. Mechanic did say that now with 13 leaves there is no issue with U joint-over-angularity at diff or coming out of the transfer case.
PS.....with all this priceless knowledge about M38A1's, I assume you had something to do with the vehicle maintenance in the military....if so, thanks for your service!
Regards,
les
