I have one output shaft seal that is leaking and slinging fluid. Please check my thinking on this. I'm going to reference Grady's write-up and a few others:

My thought process for the big gotchas:
- Replace both output flange seals while I'm in there.
- Do one side complete at a time (don't take both CV joints off) so I don't have to fight with holding one flange while removing/reinstalling the center flange bolt.
- Use the factory seals.
- Check inserted depth before removing.
- Make some insertion tools (maybe that 3D printer is really useful for something...)
- Inspect the output flange shafts for grooving/wear before reinstalling.
- Center flange bolt gets torqued to 20 lbf.ft. on reassembly.
- New Schnorr washers for the CV joints; maybe check the grease fill before reassembly.
Are there any other tips/tricks that I'm missing?
Thanks for the help.
