How do you put pinion seal on Nissan Titan?
Installation is pretty straight forward. tap the new seal into place. should be a tight fit. Grease splines of pinion and slide on yoke so the marks lined up. tap it down the spline till its close to where it should be. Then put the pinion nut on and tighten it down with an impact till the marks all line up again.
How do you fix a leaking oil seal on a Nissan Titan?
Mark the location of the pinion, nut and yoke using a sharpie. once I got that nut off I had to use a two arm gear puller to pull the yoke off the pinion splines, with the right tool it is super easy and you can most likely rent the puller from a parts place. Once the yoke is off the pinion you can finally see the leaking oil seal.
Can a drive pinion nut be replaced on a Nissan Titan?
It should also be noted that per Nissan FSM the drive pinion nut should be replaced. The torque is 220-500 for the nut. Thank you AcidJake75 for great write up with step by step photos. I myself as a visual communicator so it was big help.
Which is one do people actually replace Nissan Titan?
Which one do people actually replace, because from the diagram, Nissan only calls the inner one the seal. the inner seal is the one that fails, because its a rubber ring that seals to the shaft. I actually damaged my outer “shield” (the other part) trying to use the end of a sheetrock hammer as a wedge to seperate the shaft from the diff.

How to replace a diff pinion seal on a Nissan Frontier?
2) Using paint or nail polish (the small brush is really handy for this) mark the drive shaft and pinion nut at one of the bolts for reassembly. This helps ensure the driveshaft is balanced on re-assembly. 5) using an inch lbs beam or dial torque wrench measure the amount of force required to turn the pinion by the pinion nut.
