Thanks again. I was hoping to not have to pull axles.

The torque specifications I know about can be found at https://www.ply33.com/Repair/torque

All there is between the axle housing and the pumpkin on my '33 is a paper gasket. And on my rear end you need to pull the axle shafts to remove the pumpkin. Your later car may be different.

Thanks. Also, what's the torque when I put nut back on. The seal on the housing is also leaking. Can the pumpkin be pulled without pulling axles? Thanks all for your help

If I recall correctly, it is a right hand thread on my 1933. They might of changed that later but I doubt it.

I remember it was a bear to get off, the seal surface was damaged and needed a speedi-sleeve, and a bear to get to the proper torque with the cotter pin hole accessible on the castle nut.

1940 P10 Newbie here. I tried a search and sorry if is basic but trying to get pinion off to replace seal. Won't budge. Is it right or left hand thread? (Driveshaft by ebrake was reverse threads)
