I have also heard of using a thick grease to seal. Had a 9 inch that I replaced the pinion seal on and got some seepage when done. I had planned to try the grease trick but it stopped after a few weeks. On the 9 inch at least it takes a bit of pressure to crush the collar and change preload so not a big deal to remove nut and replace seal.
