sounds like your vent is plugged. Check that first.

1 1/8"  is the socket size but remember the D35 uses a crush sleeve so it need to be replaced

Then you need to apply 300 to 500 ft/lbs of torque to start to crush it then final torque 180 to 230 ft/lbs to get the pinion preload   to  15 to 17 inch/lbs  of torque

Its fun  ::)

you don't what to crush that if you just changing the seal mark it pull it off, (that could be the hard part very tight) yank the seal out put the new one in then put the yoke on and take it to your mark no futher you will mess up the preload. did mine in 30 min.
