Bad rear diff leak

Well I have been noticing lately a noise coming from my rearend so today I pulled the fill plug and could not fill any fluid so I topped it off with gear oil and off I went well I get home and parked it later I look outside and see all of my gear oil is on the ground I am assuming the pinion seal thats where it looks like it has been leaking so tommorow I'm going to pull the cover check everything out and put a new pinion seal in it.
Just curious can anyone tell me what size socket I need to remove the pinion bolt on an 86 k10 10bolt rearend

Re: Bad rear diff leak

Not off hand, but make sure you mark the nut/pinion/yolk before you take the nut off.(center punch) Then when it goes back together just go past your mark by a bit to get some crush again on the sleeve.
