hey guys, I'm new here and new to the 6.5 diesel. i picked up a 95 gmc 2500 ext cab long bed, 4wd, and noticed the pinion seal was leaking come to find out my bearings shot. my question is how do i remove this 6 bolt plate around the yoke where the drive shaft goes in? i put a puller on it but didn't want to put too much pressure on it. i got the schematic from the dealer (since they didn't understand) to see what I'm looking at, #10 called a retainer.

Any help, advice tips on anyone who has done this would be very appreciated, and thank you.


PS, can't find crush sleeve for 10.5 ring gear 14 bolt rear end anywhere only 8.5 and 9.5 :arch:
