I need to replace the pinion seal as it is leaking. I guess there's a small (?) chance it's something else but that is typically the issue I think. I've got the OEM pinion seal, nut, deflector (oil slinger), & new diff fluid/gasket. Will I need a new crush sleeve (collapsible spacer) or will using calipes to measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the nut suffice? The below video seemed pretty decent, but if you have any tips or other (better) videos, then I would appreciate it.
