The pinion seal can be a bugger to pull. Installation is not a big deal, but clean the bore and a slight coating of RTV before seal installaion. A little more RTV behind the washer of the pinion nut as well, in case oil sneaks thru the shaft. You may have to devise a flange holding tool to get the full torque, although guys have been putting it on with impacts for a lot of years and getting away with it.
Nothing will fall in when you remove the sidepan, although it is a bit of a tight squeeze getting it out and then putting it all back again. Put the gasket on with a little contact cement onto the sidecover, and then leave it alone for a bit before trying to install it.
First vehicle I ever drove was a Jeep in the militia at 16. That was 40 years ago. I have built and owned many over the years, but my current one is a CDN3. The Cdn 3 has a few improvements over the earlier models...the frame re-enforcement and self adjusting brakes are far superior to the earlier stuff.
