REMOVAL
1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove wheel and tire assemblies.
(3) Mark the propeller shaft yoke and pinion yoke for installation alignment reference.
(4) Remove the propeller shaft from the yoke.
(5) Remove the pinion yoke nut and washer. Use Remover C—452 and Wrench C—3281 to remove the pinion yoke (Fig. 5).
(6) Mark the positions of the yoke and pinion gear for installation alignment reference.
(7) Use Remover 7794A and slide hammer to remove the pinion gear seal (Fig. 6).

INSTALLATION
(1) Apply a light coating of gear lubricant on the lip of pinion seal. Install seal with Installer D—163 and Handle C—4171 (Fig. 7).
(2) Align the reference marks and install yoke on the pinion gear with Installer W—162—D.
(3) Install a new pinion nut on pinion shaft, lighten the nut to 217—352 N.m (160—260 ft. lbs.).
(4) Align the installation reference marks and attach the propeller shaft to the yoke.

I don't know for sure if the YJ's use a collapsible spacer on the pinion but if it does you want to spinn the yoke when you tighten it and recheck so you do not overtighten it and burn up the bearings or better yet check running torque with a inch/pound beam or dial style torque wrench for used bearings with the wheels of the ground you should have a reading of about 20 inch/pounds while continuously turning the torque wrench. Actually the same pretty much goes for tightening it if it doesn't have a collapsible spacer you want to get back to the correct pinion bearing preload
