How to replace the differential seal and perform related tasks on a Nissan Pathfinder's differential assembly?

First loosen the wheel lug nuts then raise the front or rear section of the vehicle by using jackstands to secure it as you block the wheels that remain on the ground. Detach the driveshaft from the differential companion flange by disconnecting it first then secure it elsewhere. A flange holding tool together with a chain wrench provide two possible methods to secure the companion flange when loosening the self-locking pinion nut. Move the pinion nut while you remove the flange with a two-jaw puller but avoid hitting behind the flange with any implements. Apply wheel bearing grease inside the new seal before installing it evenly using a seal installation tool or large socket until it reaches a squared and full depth position. The pinion flange should be installed while tightening the pinion nut until the flange sets correctly without using hammering techniques. Apply RTV sealant into the center flange splines as a sealing layer of oil before installing and torquing to specification the pinion nut. Connect the driveshaft to its position on the pinion flange while following the specified torque requirements.
