dear lts1 regarding your pinion seal problem although it may seem easier to pull engine it is faster and easier to pull mast and then pull trans and diff as a unit then separate on floor done many of these it is easier to repair when it is completely out of forklift it is about a 16 hour job and will save you a lot headaches plus you have to make sure you seal goes in straight and your diff and trans cases are clean or they will leak and one more thing put permatecs11 on edge of oil seals
