Anyone know of any good traction bar setups? I was watching videos of the last time I went wheeling and noticed a good bit of axle wrap. My lift is all spring, no blocks. Any other suggestions would be welcome too.

Take.pictures of your lift with some detail so we.know what you're. Working with. Shouldn't be axle wrap.

If you're removing the entire pinion to access the seal, yes, you need to get the axles, diff, and pinion out. However if you can get the seal out with the pinion shaft in the way there's no reason to do any extra work. It depends on the seal puller/pliers/prybar/whatever you're trying to use.
I'd like to avoid pinion removal for that very reason. Is it possible to do without removing the pinion? I have limited tools so I'll probably use pliers/prybar.

Just before the 2 minute mark you can see the leaf pack separate a little bit from the main leaf. The retainers on the packs are still there. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6sUG9WXzI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

To gain access to the pinion seal, you only need to remove the pinion yoke. Then pry that seal any way you can. The hardest part is properly torquing the yoke nut when its all done.

Lol they're RC leafs, that's not possible. I have Ironman 4x4 relocation boxes and my shackle sits at a 45. My Jeep is at home now so I can't take any pictures. I'll dig through my phone to see if I have any.
