Thanks for all the help! Got this all sorted out. A good....a really good impact wrench is almost a must. That is one heck of a nut to crack. LOL
The seal itself was easy to knock out and put the new one in. Torque of the nut is not as important as counting the threads to put the nut back to its original preload, however the impact gun just seemed to know where to stop, all my marks and threads landed perfect from where it started!
Besides the impact gun, you will need the 1 5/16 thin wall socket, other than that basic tools and you are good to go.
Thanks again for the help and advice.
