Yeahhhh!! I got the pinion off!! What I did (in case anyone ever has this problem) is used the straps that hold the u-joint to the pinion and strapped in a hammer so that it protruded from the top a bit, but went through both straps. Then I tapped (insert beat the crud out of) the hammer on the side with a rubber mallet. This worked the pinion off. Slowly at first then it quickly came off. The seals I bougt from kragen auto parts didn't fit (go figure). When I tried to give tem the numbers that were atamped on the side of the seals they said they couldn't cross reference them(Kragen Sux). Autozone did it without a problem. I will be buying my parts from them from now on!!!!!
