Before pulling it apart mark the flange, pinion flange and nut.
After replacing the seal tighten
the nut but don't tighten past the point where your marks line up, if you do you will crush the spacer and put a higher than necessary preload on the bearing which will as has been said require early replacement.
To make it all easier I made a 500 mm long bar from heavy 50 x50 x5 mm angle iron to bolt to the flange to hold it when undoing and tightening the pinion nut. Basically it has two holes to line up with two holes in the flange and a bit cut out to clear the pinion nut sufficiently.
Can supply pics if necesary.
