to replace the 9" yoke. What size is the pinion nut? 1 1/8?

Also, FWIW.. I plan on draining and changing the diff fluid in the 9 inch. I'm not 100% clear on the procedure for this. From what I've learned, I have to pull the axle shafts and the carrier. Is this true?
Have you measured the yoke you already have? I'd be willing to bet it's already got a 1330 yoke, if not a 1330s like that one you linked.

Because it's dumb.

1- You're halfway to pulling the chunk anyway
2- You're not going to get even half the oil out
3- It'll be easier to change the pinion seal/yoke on the bench
4- Because you suggested it
