Ykydaxj when you havent wheeled it in a week, and the pinion seal starts leaking and engine sounds rougher.

when you use something like a pinion seal as an excuse to buy more tools.

When you first noticed the leak, you hoped it was more serious, for an excuse to swap out the turd-y 5.

Thy make little U-joints for socket wrenches so you can get into tight areas where you can't hold the wrench in line with the bolt.
