You wouldn't believe how many people laugh at me when I tell them to seal the splines. Put the sealant in the yoke, NOT on the pinion shaft.

See who's laughing when the yoke slings gear lube onto their floor pan and mufflers...

Yep. I'd just got in a rush when I pulled the yoke back off the first time (using a solid sleeve I left the rear seal out until I got the setup where I liked it) to install the seal and just slapped it back together without blinking. Guess I'm getting old and forgetful.. Either way yoke was pulled and cleaned (along with the splines) I used Ultra Black and applied to the yoke splines and a helping on the washer face. Also good point Freddie apply the sealant on the yoke and not the pinion. Let it dry overnight and I'll fill'er up and see if it leaks now.. Then its axles and back under the car.
