Billfish, Did applying rtv (Permatex) to the pinion splines stop your leak? If so, did you apply it to only the outer 1/3rd or did you apply it along the entire spline?

Did you have to use a puller to remove the old yoke?

I have to replace my seal and I did a trial run playing with a spare differential I had and the yoke slipped right off. I am thinking if a puller is needed that the fit between the yoke splines and pinion gear splines is tighter and may stop the oil from weeping up the spline.
