Tricks/tips needed for the removal of the Salisbury pinion flange nut

[86mud]

Hi all

I am wanting to change the Salisbury pinion seal, but am struggling to undo the large nut whilst lying under the truck.

Any tips? I am doing this without a rattle gun - just a long extension bar, but am unable to get enough leverage.

This nut is on tight!

Thank you

Make sure you mark the position of the nut before you undo it then count the turns to undo it
Put it back exactly where it is

Maybe use a bigger extension bar??
